INTRODUCTION 


The  Abbe  genealogy,  as  here  piiblished,  is  the  consummation  of  Professor  Cleve- 
land Abbe's  life-long  interest  in  the  history  of  his  family.  Before  reaching  his 
twentieth  year  he  began  to  collect  items  of  interest  about  his  ancestors  and  the  col- 
lateral lines,  and  in  spite  of  more  or  less  interruption  he  has  continued  to  do  so  all 
througli  his  busy  career.  During  the  early  sixties,  Mr.  William  Weaver,  who 
was  then  editor  of  the  Willimantic  Journal,  began  the  publication  of  what  he 
planned  to  be  an  exhaustive  work  on  the  old  families  of  Windham.  After  pub- 
lication in  the  Journal  he  corrected  and  republished  the  sketches  in  pamphlet 
form.  Mr.  Weaver  died  before  his  hopes  were  realized  and  we  have  only  a  small 
portion  of  the  work,  covering  the  families  alphabetically  from  "  A  "  to  "  Bill. ' ' 
His  fragmentary  notes  on  other  families  have  been  preserved  in  the  library  of 
the  Connecticut  Historical  Society  where  they  were  deposited  as  a  gift  from 
his  son. 

From  time  to  time  other  members  of  the  family  added  to  the  items  collected 
by  or  worked  up  at  the  suggestion  of  Professor  Abbe.  A  few  years  ago,  finally 
realizing  that  other  matters  demanded  too  much  time  and  that  he  could  not 
arrange  this  material  in  final  form,  he  turned  over  all  his  material  to  Josephine 
Genung  Nichols  (Mrs.  L.  Nelson  Nichols).  She  has  arranged  the  data  in  its 
present  form,  and  added  to  it,  as  far  as  practicable,  by  extensive  correspondence, 
library  research  and  examinations  of  the  public  records  at  some  of  the  former 
homes  of  the  family. 

Collaborators. — Most  helpful  contributions  to  this  work  have  been  made  by: 
Mr.  Charles  E.  Abbe  of  Sara  Sota,  Fla.,  who  left  an  invaluable  collection  of 
records  about  the  line  of  Obadiah  Abbe,  the  basis  of  our  history  of  that  branch; 
Miss  Norah  D.  Abbe  of  Elyria,  Ohio,  and  Mrs.  John  Emerson,  on  Eleazer  and 
the  Abbe  families  of  Eljrria;  Miss  Julia  Maynard  on  the  Vermont  Abbeys  and 
other  New  England  lines;  Mrs.  Bronson  Post  Reynolds,  about  the  Jonathan 
Abbey  line;  Mr.  Richard  N.  Abbey  on  the  soutliern  lines;  Mrs.  D.  Stearns 
Jamison  on  the  Harris  Abbey  record  and  portraits;  Mr.  Charles  T.  Hendriek, 
whose  unflagging  interest  and  remarkable  ability  has  secured  materials  hitherto 
unavailable;  Mr.  Alden  Freeman,  whose  love  for  the  family  is  expressed  in  the 
beautiful  Thomas  Abbey  monument  just  erected  on  Enfield  Green;  Mrs.  Martha 
B.  Hanna  on  the  Pease  family  descended  from  Mary  Abbey;  Mrs.  Ashbel  Welch, 
on  the  Welch  family.  Lack  of  space  prevents  mention  of  many  others  who  have 
also  contributed  to  the  work  and  have  cheered  the  compiler  by  their  kind  replies. 
We  thank  you  all  once  more. 

A  family  history  is  never  really  complete  or  entirely  satisfactory;  but  we  feel 
that  we  have  gone  to  as  much  expense  as  was  justified.  We  have  made  this 
beginning;   may  others  continue  the  work. 

Professor  Abbe  had  hoped  to  make  this  genealogA^  no  mere  list  of  the  members 
of  the  family.  He  would  have  it  a  contribution  to  the  study  of  heredity,  so 
has  added  as  much  as  practicable  on  the  personal  characteristics  of  its  members 
and  has  included  many  available  photographs.  He  believes  that  the  study  of 
any  good  clean  family  will  bring  out  facts  just  as  well  wortli  following  up  for 
the  development  of  the  personality  of  the  nation,  as  are  the  facts  brought  out 
by  the  work  of  criminologists  and  social  workers  in  the  field  of  the  mentally 
deficient,  etc.,  which  show  the  immense  value  to  a  countiy,  of  the  study  of  inherit- 
ance of  traits  that  increase  state  expenses  for  caring  for  such  defectives.

vi  Abbe-Abbey  Genealogy 

Arrangement. — The  general  arrangement  of  the  matter  is  the  same  as  is 
commonly  used  in  similar  works  on  genealogy.  We  have  tried  to  avoid  unneces- 
sary numbers  and  to  simplify  the  work  as  much  as  possible  in  order  to  make  it 
useful  to  eveiy  one.  Few  abbreviations  are  used  in  addition  to  b.,  m.,  and  d.,  for 
born,  married,  and  died,  respectively. 

Dates. — Among  the  earlier  records  will  be  noted  some  double  dating.  Accord- 
ing to  the  old  calendar  used  in  England  and  her  colonies  up  to  1751,  the  year 
began  on  March  26.  In  that  year  England  followed  the  lead  set  by  most  European 
countries  and  decreed  that  after  the  last  day  of  December,  1751,  the  25th  day  of 
March  should  no  longer  be  reckoned  the  last  day  of  the  year  and  that  the  year 
1752  should  begin  on  January  1.  Accordingly  in  most  dates  prior  to  1752,  we  find 
the  old  year  continued  to  March  25  with  the  new  year  annexed  to  it  from  the 
first  of  January.    This  was  not  a  uniform  practice,  however. 

Spelling. — The  spelling  of  the  name  has  been  a  source  of  perplexity  from  the 
earliest  days  to  the  present.  Abbe  or  Abbey  have  been  the  favorite  forms, 
followed  by  Abby,  Abbee,  Abbe  and  other  variations  usually  not  authorized  by 
the  bearer  of  the  name.  In  arranging  the  data  for  publication  we  have  made  every 
effort  to  follow  the  usage  of  each  particular  family  in  this  matter;  there  are 
many  errors  no  doubt  in  records  sent  by  someone  not  wholly  familiar  with  the 
usage  of  the  family  concerned.  In  some  cases  close  relatives  have  used  different 
spellings,  thereby  adding  to  the  chance  of  errors.  The  records  of  the  Abbay, 
Aby,  and  of  a  few  other  families  have  been  added,  although  we  do  not  know  that 
they  are  connected  with  the  family  of  John  Abbe.  The  name  is  not  a  common 
one  in  England  or  elsewhere.  It  was  probably  a  name  of  local  derivation, 
denoting  one  who  lived  at  or  near  an  abbey. 

The  late  Dr.  Edward  Payson  Abbe  of  New  Bedford,  Mass.,  believed  in  his 
French  origin.  He  had  a  coat  of  arms  that  belonged  to  and  was  used  by  a  French 
family  in  Normandy.  This  coat  of  arms  is  described  as :  a  red  eagle  with  beak 
and  legs  of  gold  on  a  shield  of  silver.  In  British  heraldic  works  the  coat  of 
arms  is  given  as :  gules,  five  fusils  in  f esse  between  three  escallops  argent.  There 
are  several  crests,  viz.,  a  cross  crosslet  azure;  an  eagle  displayed  argent  between 
two  cross  crosslets  or,  each  wing  charged  with  a  cross  crosslet  gules;  an  eagle's 
head  erased  proper;  a  leopard  rampant  proper.  The  motto  also  varies:  "Spei 
mea  coelo, "   or  "  Confido  conquesco. ' ' 

It  is  possible  that  some  of  the  Abbes  came  over  from  France  to  England  at 
an  early  date;  but  we  have  absolutely  no  evidence  that  John  Abbey  was  entitled 
to  use  these  arms,  or  that  he  ever  did  so. 

Migrations. — It  is  a  source  of  regret  that  so  little  is  known  of  the  history  of 
John  Abbey  before  he  emigrated  to  America.  The  Heralds'  College,  London, 
began  a  search  for  such  information  some  time  ago,  but  thus  far  no  results 
have  been  reported.  To  us  it  seems  likely  that  he  was  of  or  connected  with  the 
Abbey  family  of  Staverton  (see  page  433). 

John  Abbe,  or  Abbey,  migrated  to  America  at  a  time  when  many  of  England's 
young  men  were  coming  to  the  new  colonies  either  for  freedom  from  religious 
persecution,  from  a  love  of  adventure,  or  simply  from  a  desire  to  better  their 
condition.  The  brief  glimpses  into  his  life  and  character  afforded  by  colonial 
records,  suggest  that  John  Abbey  was  of  the  first-mentioned  class.  He  was  early 
a  church  member  and  land  owner  in  the  New  World  and  his  descendants  were 
active  for  good  in  their  communities.  From  the  first  homes  in  Salem  and  Wen- 
ham,  the  three  brothers  of  the  second  generation  went  out  to  new  homes  in 
different  sections  of  Connecticut,  Windham,  and  Enfield,  where  each  family 
became  prominently  identified  with  the  life  of  their  town.  As  settlements  were 
extended  into  the  interior,  we  find  the  Abbeys  going  on  up  the  Connecticut  valley, 
then  turning  westward  with  the  tide  of  settlers  through  central  New  York,  then 


Introduction  vii 

on  to  Ohio,  as  that  country  was  opened  up,  and  still  later  on  to  Michigan  and 
eventually  across  the  continent. 

Appendix. — Some  items  of  historical  interest  which  it  was  not  desirable  to 
include  in  the  body  of  the  record  but  which  we  are  happy  to  be  able  to  contribute 
to  the  family  history,  have  been  placed  in  the  Appendix.  On  pages  406  to  434 
we  have  concisely  arranged  practically  all  collected  items  that  might  be  of  use 
to  a  future  historian.  Any  information  serving  to  complete  these  items  will  be 
welcome.

ABBE-ABBEY   GENEALOGY 


IN    MEMORY   OF 


JOHN   ABBE   AND  HIS   DESCENDANTS 


FIRST   GENERATION 

1.  JOHN^  ABBE,  born  iu  England  about  1613;  died  in  Salem,  Mass.,  about 
1689-90.  The  place  of  birth  of  John  Abbe,  the  founder  of  the  American  Abbe 
and  Abbey  families,  is  unknown,  but  every  indication  points  to  one  of  the  interior 
and  central  counties  of  England  as  the  home  of  the  ancestors  of  the  emigrant. 
It  is  not  improbable  that  he  was  connected  with  the  Abbye  family  of  Staverton, 
Northampton.  The  parish  registers  of  Stoke  Bruerne,  Northampton,  show  that 
there  were  many  marriages  of  Abbyes  recorded  there  during  the  16th  and  17th 
centuries. 

John  Abbe,  from  the  age  as  given  approximately  at  his  death,  was  born  about 
1613.  The  first  mention  which  seems  to  be  of  this  John  Abbe  is  on  a  register 
of  the  names  "of  all  y®  passengers  w*^*^  i^assed  from  y^  Porte  of  London  for  a 
whole  yeare  endinge  at  X™'*^  1635  —  Those  underwritten  are  to  be  transported 
to   Virginia   imbarqued   in   y^   Merch*^   bonaventure   James   Ricrofte   M^'   bound 

thither  have  taken  y^  oath  of  allegeance —  Jo:  Abby -^  go     ~~"    Although  this 

statement  says  bound  for  Virginia,  it  is  a  well-known  fact  that  many  of  the 
early  ships  destined  for  Virginia  landed  many  or  all  of  their  passengers  at 
other  ports,  even  in  New  England,  and  records  of  the  name  of  John  Abbe 
begin  in  New  England  about  that  time.  The  above  Jo:  Abby  does  not  appear 
in  the  records  of  Virginia,  nor  in  the  Head  Rights  for  lower  Norfolk  from 
1637  to  1666.  The  abbreviation  Jo:  sometimes  stood  for  Joseph,  but  there  are 
^  proven  instances  where  it  was  used  for  John. 

The  first  reference  to  the  name  in  the  Salem  records  is  on  page  11,  volume 
1,  in  1637,  or,  according  to  the  old  method  of  marking  time,  2d  of  the  11th 
month,  1636. 

"John  Abbie  is  Reed,  ffer  Inhabitant  &  is  to  haue  one  acre  lott  for  a  house 
next  beyond  the  Gunsmiths,  and  3  acres  of  planting  ground  where  the  Towne 
hath  apiDointed  beyond  Castle  hill." 

There  has  existed  some  confusion  regarding  the  various  freemen  of  the 
name  Abbey  and  Alby.  Benjamin  Albye  was  admitted  freeman,  May  18,  1642, 
and  John  Albye  in  Salem,  May  10,  1643.  These  were,  without  doubt,  the  two 
Albys,  John  and  Benjamin,  mentioned  in  the  early  records  of  Braintree  about 
this  time.  Benjamin  Alby  removed  to  Mendon  and  had  numerous  descendants, 
whose  names  occasionally  appear  in  printed  records  as  Abbey.  John  Abbey, 
sen.,  of  Redding,  freeman  in  1634,  may  have  been  an  Alby. 

On  the  21st,  11th  month,  1638,  John  Abby  had  a  further  grant  of  five  acres, 
location  not  specified,  but,  as  on  the  15th,  2d  month,  1639,  this  record  occurs, 
"Granted  unto  John  Abby  5  acres  neere  to  Mr  Throgmortons  hoggehouse,"  it 
may  be  that  the  first  was  the  grant  and  the  second  the  location.     Under  date 


2  Abbe-Abbey  Genealogy 

of  the  25th,  10th  month,  1637,  it  was  agreed  'Hhe  marsh  and  meadow  lands 
that  have  formerly  been  laid  in  common  to  this  town  shall  now  be  appropriated 
to  the  inhabitants  of  Salem,  proportioned  out  to  them  according  to  the  heads 
of  families.  To  these  that  have  the  gi-eatest  number  an  acre  thereof,  and  to 
these  that  have  least  not  above  half  an  acre,  and  to  these  that  are  between  both 
three  quarters  of  an  acre,  always  provided  and  it  is  so  agreed,  that  none  shall  sell 
away  their  proportions  of  meadow,  more  or  less,  nor  lease  them  out  to  any 
above  three  years,  unless  they  sell  or  lease  out  their  houses  with  their  meadow." 

Under  the  above  division  a  list  of  the  inhabitants  was  taken,  and  the  land 
divided.  Jo.  Abby  is  named  in  1638  as  having  three  in  his  family,  and  receives 
half  an  acre. 

On  the  23d,  11th,  1642,  ten  acres  are  granted  to  John  Abby  together  with 
several  other  ten-acre  grants,  all  to  be  laid  out  near  to  Kings  lot.  This  was  on 
tlie  Beverly  side  near  Bass  River,  and  on  the  15th  of  the  12th  month,  1642, 
it  is  voted  "ordered  that  John  Abby  shall  liave  10  acres  of  land  at  Enon  in 
exchange  of  10  acres  of  land  bounded  out  nere  Basse  River." 

The  lot  near  Bass  River  was  afterward  granted  to  Michael  Sallows.  The 
record  of  the  grants  to  Abbey  show  that  he  was  of  the  same  standing  in  the 
community  as  the  great  majority  of  the  early  inhabitants.  The  grants  were 
in  a  great  measure  made  Avith  an  eye  as  to  the  ability  of  the  grantee  to  develop 
the  land  so  granted,  small  grants  to  the  poorer  and  larger  grants  to  the  richer 
sort. 

In  1642,  Mr.  Fiske  organized  a  church  at  Enon  and  the  following  year  the 
name  Enon  was  changed  to  Wenham,  while  a  permanent  church  organization 
was  effected  in  1644. 

In  1644,  under  date  of  the  13th,  6th  month,  it  was  agreed  that  John  Abby 
"shall  have  all  that  wastground  which  lyeth  between  ye  end  of  ye  lott  which 
he  lives  upon  and  ye  meadow  which  belongs  to  ye  town,  leaving  a  poles  bredth 
most  convenient  for  a  way."     (Wenham  town  records,  Worcester.) 

Under  date  of  1653  is  a  list  of  engagements  with  Goodman  Haws  about  the 
mill,  and  "John  Aby  gives  a  day  and  a  half  of  his  labor  toward  its  erection," 
and  others  contributed  in  like  manner,  some  also  giving  tlie  use  of  oxen. 

Mr.  Fiske  left  the  town  in  1655  followed  by  a  number  of  the  church,  and  in 
1657  Mr.  Newman  was  procured  as  pastor.  Under  date  of  November,  1657,  in 
a  total  rate  of  £42,  19,  divided  among  twenty-four  persons,  of  whom  five  paid  a 
total  of  £14,  John  Abey  is  assessed  £1,  5,  which  was  about  the  sum  paid  by 
eleven  others,  but  two  being  less. 

In  1659,  twenty-seven  pay  a  rate  of  £46,  2,  of  whom  sixteen  pay  £1  or  a 
trifle  over.    Of  these  .John  Abey  pays  £1,  5,  as  before,   "in  corne  or  cattle." 

In  1660  he  was  assessed  as  Goodman  Abey  at  eight  shillings  toward  a  new 
meeting  house  or  repairing  the  old  one.     The  new  house  was  built  in  1663. 

Under  date  of  6th,  11th  month,  1661,  John  Abbey,  Sr.,  and  Edward  Waldron 
had  a  town  grant  of  land  to  be  equally  divided  between  them.  The  use  of  the 
title  Senior  at  this  time  helps  to  place  the  birth  of  the  son  John. 

In  1663  Goodman  Abey,  Sr.,  and  John  Clarke  are  chosen  to  join  with  the 
selectmen  to  make  the  minister's  rate  for  the  present  year. 

In  1669  and  in  1671  John  Abbey  appears  as  constable,  an  office  of  great  local 
power  and  responsibility. 

April  3,  1675,  John  Abbe  deeded  10  acres  of  land  to  his  son  Samuel,  Thomas, 
John,  and  Maiy  Abbe,  being  witnesses.  John  Abbe,  sen.,  was  a  witness  to  the 
will  of  Edw<i  Walden  of  Salem,  4th  month,  1679. 

In  1683,  John  Abbey,  who  had  been  supporting  his  son  Thomas,  who  lived 
with  him  and  cared  for  him,  dismissed  Thomas  on  account  of  his  bad  behavior 
and  called  his  son  John,  junior,  to  take  charge  of  him  and  his  affairs.  The  son, 
John,  proceeded  early  to  build  a  new  house,  as  the  old  one  was  unfit  to  live  in.

John  Abbe  married    (1)    MARY  .     She  was  born  in  England  about 

1615-20,  and  died  in  Wenham,  Mass.,  September  6,  1672.  ''Mary,  the  wife  of 
John  Abbey,  senr.  dyed  the  9  Sept.  1672";  Wenham  records.  She  was 
doubtless  the  mother  of  all  of  his  children.  Her  name  is  given  as  Mary  Loring, 
by  Frederick  Orr  Woodruff,  who  says  that  the  name  was  found  on  Enfield  records 
bv  one  who  made  researches  for  him  there.

SECOND    GENERATION 

2.  J0HN2  ABBE,  son  of  John^  and  Mary  (  )  Abbe,  born  in  1636  or 
1637,  probably  in  Salem,  Mass.,  died  suddenly,  December  11,  1700,  in  Windham, 
Conn.  As  early  as  1663,  he  was  one  of  three  to  oversee  the  Town's  Common 
and  to  resist  encroachments  on  the  timber.  He  may  be  the  John  Abbe  who 
was  constable  in  1669.  He  is  first  described  as  a  yeoman  of  Wenham,  and  was 
admitted  to  freedom  by  the  court  at  Boston,  May  11,  1670.  In  a  document 
of  1683,  his  father  designated  him  as  the  heir  to  his  estate  in  Wenham  upon 
the  condition  of  his  caring  for  his  father  and  mother  in  their  old  age.  He 
apparently  resided  upon  this  estate  until  about  1696. 

The  following  items  from  the  inventory  of  Robert  Macklaflin  of  Wenham, 
September  19,  1690,  doubtless  refer  to  this  John  Abbe: 

To  Jno.  Abbe  for  nursing — £1 

To  Jno.  Abbe  more  for  tending  the  swine 

for  fatting — sl6-d3 
To  John  Abbe  due  for  worke  to  save 

the  corne  &  thresh  the  ry  &  killing  the 

swine  &  carrying  them  to  Salem  &  about  fencing, 

fl-sl8-tl6. 

March  9,  1694-5,  he  sold  to  Francis  Wainwright  a  house  and  lands  in  Wen- 
ham, 50  acres  in  all;  and  in  the  following  year,  February  21,  he  had  a  deed 
of  the  same  property  back  from  Wainwright.  In  1696  he  disposed  of  his 
property  in  Wenham  and  j^urchased  of  Lieutenant  Exercise  Conant,  July  13, 
1696,  for  £70,  silver  money,  home  lot  number  7,  at  Windham  Centre,  with  the 
1000-acre  right  belonging,  dwelling  house,  etc.  May  23,  1695,  Jo.  Abbey  was  a 
witness  to  a  deed  of  Exercise  and  Sarah  Conant  of  Beverly  (Essex  Deeds,  Vol- 
ume 2,  page  101).  He  sold  his  farm  in  Wenham,  30  acres  with  buildings,  to 
Nathaniel  Wainwi'ight,  October  19,  1696,  for  £130.  He  probably  soon  after 
removed  to  Windham,  Conn.,  for  on  December  9,  1696,  he  was  admitted  a 
freeman  of  that  town  as  John  Abbe,  Sen',  of  Windham.  He  and  his  wife, 
Hannah,  were  dismissed  from  the  Wenham  Church  to  that  of  Windham  by  a 
letter  of  October  28,  1700,  and  were  both  original  members  of  the  first  church 
in  Windham  at  its  organization,  December  10,  1700.

John-  Abbe  married  (1)  .     Isaac  Goodale,  who  was  perhaps  the  son  of 

Isaac  and  Patience  Goodale,  called  John  Abbe  his  nnele,  so  this  first  w^ife  may 
have  been  a  Goodale.  There  were  also  intermarriages  between  the  Killams  and 
Goodales.

3.  SAMUEL-  ABBE,  son  of  Johni  Abbe,  born  probably  at  Wenham,  Mass., 
about  1646,  or  soon  after  his  father's  settlement  there;  died  in  Windham, 
Conn.,  March,  1697-8.  His  name  first  appears  in  the  Wenham  records  at  the 
time  of  his  marriage.  "Samuel  Abby  and  Mary  Knowlton  maryed  the  12th 
October  1672."  He  received  a  grant  of  ten  acres  of  land  in  Wenham,  and  land 
to  set  his  house  upon,  from  his  father,  John  Abbey,  and  wife,  Mary,  April  3, 
1675,  his  brethren  to  have  the  refusal  of  the  place  if  he  should  sell  (Essex 
Deeds,  15:150).  Samuel  and  his  wife,  Mary,  were  communicants  of  the  church 
in  Wenham  in  1674.  He  was  a  land  surveyor  in  1676  and  appears  upon  the 
town  records  as  a  husbandman,  made  freeman,  October  3,  1680  (Massachusetts 
Records,  5:540).    He  was  named  in  his  father's  will,  1683. 

A  map  of  Salem  dwellings  in  1692,  published  in  Volume  I  of  Upham's  Salem 
Witchcraft,  shows  the  location  of  Samuel  Abbey's  house,  number  114  on  a 
plot  in  the  south-west  part,  east  of  Bald  Hill,  within  the  500  acres  laid  out 
to  Robert  Goodell  in  1652  and  its  subsequent  additions. 

On  November  1,  1682,  Samuel  Abbey  bought  of  Lott  Killam  and  wife,  Hannah, 
of  Salem,  he  being  then  of  Wenham,  6  acres  in  Salem  on  Norrice's  Brook 
(12:112),  and  also  bought  of  James  Stimpson  and  wife,  Priscilla,  who  had  been 
the  widow  of  Isaac  Goodell,  at  the  same  place,  some  land  in  1684  (12:113).  On 
April  3,  1697,  he  and  his  wife,  Mary,  sold  those  lands  described  as  a  dwelling 
house,  two  orchards,  and  seventeen  acres  in  Salem,  bounding  Anthony  Needham, 
John  Waleott,  Isaac  Goodale,  Samuel  Goodale,  Abraham  Smith,  Abel  Gardner, 
Joseph  Flint,  and  also  six  acres  on  Norrice's  Brook,  and  two  acres  bought  of 
James  Stimpson,  to  Zachariah  White  of  Lynn,  all  for  £130  (12:147),  The 
above  James  Stimpson  was  of  Reading  and  had  married  the  widow  of  the  elder 
Isaac  Goodell.  At  the  time  of  Goodell 's  death  in  1680,  the  widow  was  adminis- 
tratrix and  Samuel  Abbey  was  one  of  her  sureties.  He  was  then  probably  of 
Salem  or  possibly  Topsfield. 

He  was  admitted  freeman  of  Salem  Village,  March  22,  1689-90.  He  and  his 
wife  were  dismissed  from  the  Salem  Church  September  15,  1689,  to  unite  in 
forming  one  at  Salem  Village;  the  date  of  its  formation  being  November  15, 
1689.  Salem  Village  is  now  Danvers.  On  July  1,  1690,  he  w'as  taxed  at  Salem 
Village,  and  again,  January  18,  1694-5,  he  and  his  son  were  taxed  there. 

Samuel  Abbey  of  Salem  bought  of  Benjamin  Howard  of  Windham,  Conn., 
for  £22.  10s.  current  money,  half  an  allotment  of  land  (500  acres),  being 
number  2  at  the  Center,  at  or  near  the  locality  known  later  as  Bricktop.  He 
probably  removed  to  Windlmm  about  that  time  as  he  was  admitted  an  inhabitant 
of  that  town  December  21,  1697,  and  died  there  March  of  the  following  year. 

His  estate  was  settled  in  1699.  The  inventory,  taken  May  9,  1698,  gives  as 
legatees,  the  following:  wife,  Mary;  daughter,  Mary,  aged  25;  son,  Samuel, 
aged  23;  son,  Thomas,  aged  20;  Eleazer,  aged  18  (the  land  records  prove  that 
this  is  a  mistake  for  Elizabeth);  Ebenezer,  aged  16;  Mercy,  aged  14;  Sarah, 
aged  13;  Hepsibah,  aged  10;  Abigail,  aged  8;  John,  aged  7;  Benjamin,  aged 
6 ;  Jonathan,  aged  2.  One  record  says  he  left  a  son,  Eleazer,  and  a  daughter, 
Abigail,  each  8  years  old  at  his  death.  This  is  doubtless  an  attempt  to  rectify 
the  error  noted  above. 

Samuel  Abbe  was  living  in  Salem  during  the  days  of  witchcraft  and  was  one 
of  those  opposed  to  its  fanaticisms.  One  Rebecca  Nourse,  on  trial  as  a  witch, 
produced  a  paper  signed  by  several  ''resj^ectable  inhabitants"  of  Salem,  among 


Second  GenerxYtion  9 

•whom  was  Samuel  Abbe.  This  document  as  to  her  good  character  caused  her 
to  be  set  at  liberty  but  the  sentence  was  later  changed  for  some  reason  and 
she  was  put  to  death  as  a  witch.  Only  a  few  years  ago  a  monument  to  her 
memory  was  erected  by  her  descendants. 

Samuel  Abbey  testifies  as  to  Mercy  Lewis,  May  20,  1692,  she  being  at  the 
liouse  of  her  neiglibor,  John  Putnam,  jr.,  and  accused  of  witchcraft. 

Samuel  Abbe  and  his  wife,  Mary,  were  witnesses  in  a  witch  trial  in  Salem 
in  1692  against  Sarah  Snow,  a  Avoman  of  vicious  temper  who  had  lived  in  their 
home  for  a  time  but  was  dismissed  on  account  of  her  disagreeable  waj's.  She 
vowed  vengeance  upon  them  and  when  several  of  their  cows  and  hogs  were 
taken  sick,  the  blame  was  laid  to  her  as  a  witch. 

The  following  are  taken  from  Records  of  Salem  Witchcraft,  copied  from  the 
original  documents.  Volume  1,  pages  24  and  25.

Warrant  for  Sarah  Good  was  given  at  Salem,  February  29,  1691-2,  in  response 
to  complaints  of  Sarah  Vibber,  Abigail  Williams,  Elizabeth  Hubbard,  Ann

malign  practices  were  those  of  Samuel  Abbey  and  wife.

SamueP  Abbe  married  in  Wenbam,  Mass.,  October  12,  1672,  MARY  KNOWL- 
TON,  born  1653,  daughter  of  William  and  Elizabeth  (  )  Knowlton.  She 
married  (2),  April  27,  1699,  Abraham  Mitchell  and  had  by  him  a  son,  Daniel, 
who  was  born  and  died  December  10,  1700.  Mary  Mitchell,  formerly  Mary 
Abby,  was  dismissed  from  the  Salem  Village  Church  to  Windham,  Conn., 
September  14,  1701. 

The  following  notes  are  from  the  "Knowlton  Ancestry,"  compiled  by  Rev. 
C.  H.  W.  Stocking  of  Freehold,  N.  J.,  published  1897: 

The  name  Knowlton  reaches  back  traditionally  to  the  time  of  William  the  Conqueror, 
1066-87.  Richard  Knowlton  was  born  1553,  probably  at  Knowlton  Manor,  which  is 
situated  about  six  miles  from  the  great  cathedral  at  Canterbury,  Kent  County,  England. 
He  married,  July  17,  1577,  Elizabeth  Cantize.  The  last  of  their  four  children  was 
William,  commonly  called  Captain  William,  born  1584,  married  Ann  Elizabeth  Smith. 
They  had  six  children,  two  of  whom  died  young.  Captain  William  with  his  remaining 
family  sailed  for  America  about  1632.  He  died  on  the  passage  and  was  probably  buried 
at  Nova  Scotia,  as  an  ancient  grave-stone  bearing  the  name  of  WiUiam  Knowlton,  1632, 
was  discovered  there  by  a  land-surveyor  in  1839.     The  family  appear  to  have  moved  to

Massachusetts  the  next  year,  probably  to  Hingham,  later  to  Ipswich.     William,  second 
sou  of  Captain  William,  born  in  England,  1615,  was  a  member  of  the  first  church  in 

Ipswich  and  a  freeman,  1641-2.    He  was  a  brick-layer  by  trade,  married  Elizabeth , 

and  died  1655.    The  youngest  of  their  seven  children  was  Mary,  born  1649,  who  married 
Samuel  Abbe.

5.  OBADIAH-  ABBEY,  son  of  John^  Abbey,  born  probably  in  "Wenham, 
Mass.,  between  1647  and  1652;  died  in  Enfield,  Conn.,  October  28,  1732.  From 
the  inventory  of  his  father's  estate  we  learn  that  he  w^as  apprenticed  to  Richard 
Goldsmith  to  learn  his  trade  of  shoemaker,  and  that  he  served  Goldsmith  three 
years  from  his  eighteenth  year.  As  Goldsmith  died  in  1673,  this  places  the 
date  of  Obadiah's  birth  approximately.  He  was  an  early  settler  of  Enfield 
on  the  eighth  lot  from  the  south  corner,  east  side,  one  of  the  original  pro- 
prietors in  1682.  He  seems  to  have  been  a  prominent  and  influential  man  of 
the  community,  was  constable  between  1682  and  1717,  survej'or  of  highways  in 
1692,  assessor  in  1702.  In  1685  he  was  engaged  in  a  law  suit  wdth  Isaac  Meacham. 
At  Northampton  is  the  will  of  Obadiah  Abbey,  dated  September  22,  1732;  pro- 
bated November  14,  1732.  He  names  as  legatees  his  wife,  Sarah,  to  whom  is 
given  maintenance,  all  household  goods  and  moveables;  his  cousin  (nephew) 
Thomas,  son  of  his  brother  Thomas,  to  whom  is  given  his  Seantic  lot,  and  to 
the  former  Thomas'  son,  Obadiah,  house  and  land,  with  reversion  to  his 
youngest  son,  Thomas,  if  the  said  Obadiah  should  die;  to  the  last-named 
Thomas,  he  gives  farm  lands  at  the  Mountains ;  his  wife 's  daughter,  Phebe  Heal ;

his  cousin  John  Abbey's  oldest  son,  John.  His  cousin,  Thomas  Abbey,  and 
Elizabeth  Warriner  are  made  executors.  This  Elizabeth  Warriner  was  pre- 
sumably the  step-daughter  of  his  wife,  who  was  born  in  1686. 

Obadiah  Abbe's  holdings  in  Enfield  are  described  in  the  Enfield  records: 
Home  lot  of  12  acres;  23  acres  in  the  South  Field,  eastern  division;  7  acres 
upon  Sehantuck  River,  5  acres  of  it  upland  and  2,  meadow;  2  acres  of  meadow 
upon  a  small  brook  easterly  from  the  "grate  meadow";  4  acres  of  meadow 
by  grant  of  March  5,  1700;  and  on  November  17,  171  [  ],  a  farm  lying  west  of 
"Sehantuck  grate  meadow"  consisting  of  168  acres,  some  of  the  boundaries  of 
which  were  designated  as  "wh*  Oak  Tree  marked  with  the  letters  0  A"  and 
a    "Pine  Tree  marked  with  the  letters  0  A." 

See  also  under  Thomas-  Abbe,  references  to  Obadiah 's  property. 

Obadiah  Abbe  married  in  Enfield  after  1697,  SARAH  TIBBALS,  born  Novem- 
ber 29,  1654,  daughter  of  Thomas  Tibbals  of  Milford.  Her  first  husband  was 
Daniel  Collins,  by  whom  she  had  children,  and  she  married  second  Joseph 
"Warriner  of  Enfield,  who  died  1697.  Obadiah  Abbe  had  no  children,  so  far 
as  is  known. 


6.  THOMAS-  ABBE,  son  of  John^  and  Mary  (  )  Abbe,  born  probably  in 
Wenham,  Mass.,  about  1650  to  1656;  died  in  Enfield,  Conn.,  May  17,  1728.  He 
was  a  witness  to  a  deed  made  by  his  father  conveying  property  to  his  brother 
Samuel,  March  29,  1675.  At  first  he  took  care  of  his  parents  and  lived  on  the 
homestead,  but  about  1683  some  complaint  was  made  by  his  father  who  then 
turned  him  away  and  had  his  son  John  assume  the  charge  of  the  place  for 
himself  and  his  aged  wife.  Thomas  doubtless  went  immediately  to  Enfield, 
Conn.,  as  he  was  one  of  the  original  proprietors  of  that  town  in  1683,  with  the 
11th  lot,  east  side,  north  of  the  south  corner  as  his  home  lot.  He  at  once 
became  one  of  the  prominent  men  of  the  settlement  and  is  mentioned  frequently 
on  the  records  of  Enfield :  selectman  in  1686,  1689,  1706,  1707,  1709,  1710 ;  fence- 
viewer  repeatedly;  assessor  in  1705.  He  was  administrator  of  his  father's 
estate  in  1703,  and  made  his  father-in-law,  Walter  Fairfield  of  Wenham,  his 
attorney.  There  are  several  documents  in  the  files  at  Essex  pertaining  to  a  law 
suit  arising  out  of  this. 

The  case  is  that  of  Thomas  Abbey  of  Enfield  vs.  Peter  Lcgro  of  Wenham  for 
trespass  and  the  defendant  is  allowed  to  substitute  his  landlord  as  the  defendant. 
So  the  case  really  is  vs.  Nathaniel  Waldron,  who  held  the  lands  formerly  belong- 
ing to  John  Abbe,  senior,  and  by  him  given  to  his  son  John,  who  in  1696  sold 
to  Waldron.  Some  of  these  papers  help  prove  various  relationships  and  dis- 
tinctly call  Thomas  of  Enfield  the  son  of  the  older  John  of  Wenham. 

Thomas  Abbe  was  active  in  the  military  life  of  the  day.  He  was  a  soldier 
in  King  Philip's  War  and  was  wounded  at  the  Great  Swamp  Fight.  He  was 
sergeant  in  1711  and  lieutenant  of  the  Enfield  Trained  Band  in  1713.  Upon  the 
organization  of  the  army  for  the  expedition  against  Narragansett  Fort,  Major 
Samuel  Appleton  was  appointed  to  the  command  of  the  Massachusetts  forces 
and  on  a  list  of  the  soldiers  whom  the  Court,  in  May,  1676,  voted  to  repay  for 
losses  of  those  who  were  "damnified"  by  the  burning  of  Major  Appleton 's 
tent  at  Narragansett,  appears  the  name  of  Thomas  Abbe,  £3,  s.l6.  His  name 
is  also  on  the  roll  of  Major  Appleton 's  Company  in  the  Narragansett  Campaign. 
Thomas  Abbe's  will,  made  December  12,  1726,  probated  August  30,  1728,  men- 
tions the  following:  wife  Sarah;  son  Thomas,  executor  and  to  inherit  the 
homestead  and  57  acres;  son  John,  to  inherit  land  at  Scantic  Bridge;  daughters 
Sarah  Geer  and  Tabitha  Warner  to  have  the  cattle.  Witnesses  were  Obadiah 
Abbee,  John  Pease,  jr.,  and  Joseph  Sexton.  He  styles  himself  Thomas,  senior,  a 
husbandman.

Thomas^  Abbe  married  at  Marblebead,  Mass.,  December  16,  1683,  SARAH 
FAIRFIELD,  born  December  24,  1655,  at  Reading,  Mass;  died  in  Enfield,  Conn., 
November  27,   1742.     She  was   the   daughter  of  Walter   and   Sarah    (Skipper) 

Fairfield,  and  had  previoiasly  been  married  to  Needham.     The  Wenham 

records  give  this  record  of  the  marriage,  "Thomas  Abby  and  Sarah  Fairfield 
of  Wenham  were  married  the  17th  day  of  December,  1683,  being  lawfully  pub- 
lished with  the  consent  of  her  parents  Walter  Fairfield,  and  his  witness  with 
Moses  Maverick  and  Elizabeth  Fairfield."  The  marriage  is  recorded  in  both 
Marblehead  and  Wenham. 

Walter  Fairfield  was  son  of  John  and  Elizabeth  (  )  Fairfield,  who  came 
to  America  in  1638.  According  to  tradition  he  sprang  from  the  Huguenot 
Beauchamp  family  that  left  France  for  England  shortly  before  St.  Bartholo- 
mew's Day.

daughter  of  Thomas  and  Sarah,  m.  James  Pease.  Her  cousin  Mary,  b.  Sept.  16, 
1684,  daughter  of  .John  and  Hannah    (  )    Abbe,  was  the  one  who  m.  James

Sarah  his  wife,  d.  Oct.  15,  1705,"    and  the  will  of  Richard  Abbe  is  further  proof.

He  is  described  as  "of  Exeter."  It  is  the  belief  of  the  compiler  that  the 
marriage  to  Abigail  Severance  is  a  second  marriage  and  that  Joseph^  Abbe 
had  by  a  previous  marriage  had  a  son  Joseph,  who  was  born  in  1700  or  earlier

Wenham,  Mass.,  September  16,  1684;  baptized  there  before  1685.  Lived  in 
Somers  and  Enfield. 

Some  authorities  have  given  Mary,  wife  of  James  Pease,  as  the  daughter  of 
Thomas  and  Sarah  (Fairfield)  Abbe  of  Enfield.  But  Mary,  the  daughter 
of  Thomas  and  Sarah,  died  in  Wenham,  Mass.,  October  15,  1705  (Wenham  Vital 
Records).  Moreover,  Richard  Abbe,  son  of  John  and  Hannah  (  )  Abbe,  in 
his  will  mentions  his  sister  Mary,  ye  wife  of  James  Pease.  Her  mother  divided 
land  belonging  to  her  first  husband,  John  Abbe,  among  his  children,  June  16, 
1710,  using  these  words,  "moved  by  the  love  and  affection  I  bore  to  my  beautiful!

of  the  Pease  family  in  America  was  Robert,  who  man-ied  Marie  ,  father

16,  1770.  Records  pertaining  to  John  Abbe  of  Windham  are  necessarily  some- 
what indefinite  as  there  were  several  of  the  name  living  there  at  the  same 
period.  This  was  perhaps  the  John  Abbe  who  was  a  proprietor  in  the  drawing 
of  a  twenty-acre  lot  in  1707.  He  is  probably  the  John  Abbe  of  Norwich  to

Captain  James  Bidlack,  who  may  have  been  the  James  mentioned  above, 
married  Abigail  Fuller,  daughter  of  Stephen  Fuller,  and  emigrated  to  Susque- 
hanna, Pa.  He,  with  Robert  Durkee  and  Samuel  Ransom,  was  taken  captive 
by  the  Indians,  March  24,  1779.  He  was  stripped,  tied  to  a  tree,  stuck  full 
of  sharp  splints  of  pine  knots;  then,  having  piled  pine  knots  around  him, 
the  Indians  set  fire  to  the  whole,  piled  the  other  two  men  on  the  fire,  held  them 
down  with  pitchforks  and  tortured  them  until  they  expired. 

Sarah  Bidlack,  perhaps  a  sister  or  daughter  of  Captain  James  Bidlack,  mar-

ing in  the  flames.  Mrs.  Fuller,  with  some  others,  went  in  boats  down  the 
Susquehanna  to  Northumberland.  About  two  weeks  later  she  returned  to  look

unrecognizable.  Her  home  had  been  despoiled  of  everything.  She  later  returned 
to  Hampton,  Conn.,  on  horseback,  with  her  only  daughter,  Polly,  who  was 
then  two  or  three  years  old.  Polly  Fuller  afterward  married  Judge  Ebenezer 
Griffin  of  Hampton.  Sarah  (Bidlack)  Fuller  married  (2)  Asa  Abbott  and  had 
children.

18.  JOHN''  ABBE,  son  of  Samuel-  and  Mary  (Knowlton)  Abbe,  born  in 
Salem  Village,  Mass,,  June  4,  1692;  died  in  East  Hartford,  Conn,,  October  30, 
1790.  He  was  a  resident  of  Hartford  as  early  as  1710  or  1713.  John  Abbe, 
resident  at  Hartford,  sold  to  his  brother  Ebenezer,  land  formerly  belonging  to 
their  father,  Samuel  Abbe,  of  Windham,  October  29,  1713.  (Windham  Deeds, 
Liber  D,  page  328.)  March  12,  1718,  he  purchased  from  Benjamin  Hills  of 
Hartford,  8  acres  on  the  "east  side  of  the  Great  River,"  There  were  several 
John  Abbes  living  at  this  period  so  that  it  is  sometimes  hard  to  tell  which 
one  is  meant,  but  the  following  records  seem  to  pertain  to  this  one,  March  3, 
1731,  he  joined  with  several  others  in  giving  a  deed  to  the  Town  of  Hartford 
for  a  highway  which  was  later  known  as  Silver  Lane  and  on  which  his  house 
stood,  (Hartford  Deeds,  Vols,  5,  page  307,  and  3,  page  164,)  John  Abbe  of 
East  Hartford  was  one  of  the  inhabitants  of  that  town  to  protest  against  a 
tax  in  1769;  signed  a  paper  with  others  regarding  their  desire  to  settle  in 
what  was  known  as  "Western  town"  in  1733;  was  a  proprietor  in  the  Western 
land  and  signed  a  Tolland  petition,  (Connecticut  State  Archives,  State  Library, 
Towns  and  Lands,  IX,  278b,  with  his  autograph,  V,  238e,  V,  23b,  and  VII,  13.) 
Deeds  made  by  him  were  recorded  in  Hartford,  1736,  1738,  1748,  1754,  1759, 
1765,  and  1770.  The  most  important  of  these  is  that  of  January  15,  1759 
(Hartford  Deeds,  13,  page  37),  by  which  he  conveys  land  to  his  son  Nehemiali 
Abbe  of  Hartford.  The  name  is  spelled  in  various  ways  on  the  early  records. 
Abbe,  Abby  and  Abbey,  but  the  latter  seems  to  have  been  in  most  frequent  use 
among  the  later  descendants  of  his  family.

May  3,  1757.  The  following  records  from  the  Ashford  land  books  probably

10  acres  from  Joseph  Orcutt,  adjacent  to  land  of  previous  deed;  1761  and  1764,

The  inventory  of  his  estate  was  entered  in  Hartford,  June  2,  1757,  by  William 
Arent,  James  Comins,  and  Abner  Barker,  appraisers,  (Hartford  Probate  Rec- 
ords, 17;  32,  18;  86.)  The  estate  consisted  of  106  acres  of  land,  with  utensils 
and  household  goods  to  the  amount  of  £381-5-4.  The  Court  granted  adminis- 
tration upon  the  estate  to  Jonathan  Abbe  of  Willington,  who  was  also  appointed 
guardian  for  Mary,  aged  about  11  years,  and  Rebekah,  aged  about  3  years,

born  November  15,  1706,  probably  in  Salisbury,  Mass.;  died  September  7,  1757, 
in  Kensington,  N.  H.  She  was  mentioned  in  the  will  of  her  uncle,  Richard  Abbe 
of  Windham,  Conn.,  in  1737.  The  choice  of  Joanna  Abbey  of  her  stepfather 
as  guardian  is  on  file  at  Essex.  "I  Joanna  Abbee  of  Salisbury,  daughter  of

father  in  law  Mr.  Philip  Greele  should  be  my  guardian.  Dated  5  Oct.,  1724."

Man-ied  in  the  2d  Church  in  Salisbury,  February  17,  1726,  JONATHAN 
BROWN,  born  in  Hampton,  N.  H.,  February  24,  1700 ;  died  July  10,  1766.  He 
was  son  of  Jacob  and  Sarah  (Brookings)  Brown  and  a  direct  descendant  of 
John  Brown,  an  early  immigrant  to  America,  of  Scottish  descent  but  born  in 
London.  There  has  been  much  confusion  among  the  Browns  in  tracing  ancestry, 
due  to  the  fact  that  Joshua  Brown,  a  descendant  of  Richard  Brown,  married 
Joanna  Morrill,  on  December  8,  1726,  in  the  2d  Church  in  Salisbury,  Mass. 
the  same  church  in  which,  on  February  17,  1726,  Jonathan  Brown  had  married 
Joanna  Abbe.  Then  after  the  death  of  Joanna  Abbe  Brown,  her  husband 
married,  on  November  30,  1758,  Mrs.  Joanna  (Morrill)  Brown,  widow  of  Joshua. 
Joshua  and  Joanna  (Morrill)  Brown  had  at  least  eight  children,  and  Jonathan 
and  Joanna  (Abbe)  Brown,  ten,  but  there  were  no  children  by  the  second 
marriage  of  Jonathan  Brown  to  Mrs.  Joanna  (MoiTill)  Brown.  Most  of  the 
records  of  this  family  are  found  in  John  R.  Eastman's  History  of  Andover, 
New  Hampshire.

26.  OBADIAH-^  ABBE,  son  of  Obadiali^  and  Elizabeth  (Wilkinson)  Abbe, 
born  in  AVindham,  Conn.,  April  10,  1704.  He  is  doubtless  the  one  called  "my 
Cozon  Obadiah  Abbe  of  Willington"  in  the  will  of  Richard^  Abbe  of  Windham, 
1737.  Various  land  transactions  in  Ashford,  1725,  Obediah  of  Willington  to 
Richard  Abbe  of  Windham,  1731,  Obediah  to  Richard  Abbe,  may  refer  to  him. 
January  20,  1768,  was  made  a  deed  from  Obadiah  of  Ashford  to  his  brother 
Richard,  of  the  same  town,  land  in  the  westerly  part  of  the  town  of  Ashford 
descended  by  the  will  of  Richard  Abbe  of  Windham  ' '  to  the  heirs  of  my  honored 
Father  Obediah  Abbe  of  Willington."  January  19,  1768,  Ruth  Abbe  of  Wil- 
lington transfers  property  to  Obediah  of  Ashford,  land  descended  from  her 
uncle  Richard  of  Windham.  In  1767  Jeremiah  Abbe  received  land  from  his 
brother  Obadiah,  both  being  sons  of  Obadiah.  [Ashford  Town  Records  F,  11,

and  Jeremiah  Abbe  are  among  the  signers  of  an  Ashford  petition  regarding 
the  church,  1765.  Connecticut  Archives,  Ecclesiastical  Affairs,  XIV,  271  b.

Vt.,  which  was  organized  at  Mansfield,  Conn.,  August  21,  1761,  but  it  is 
doubtful  if  any  of  them  became  actual  settlers.  There  is  a  tradition  that  he 
served  in  the  French  and  Indian  War.  In  1763  he  was  commissioned  captain 
of  the  12th  Company,  5tli  Regiment,  Connecticut  Colonial  forces.  December  14, 
1769,  he  was  appointed  to  correspond  with  other  committees  in  the  county  and

lived  in  Windham,  althoiigh  the  vital  records  of  that  town  contain  the  birth 
of  only  one  child,  Mcrari  (Mexari  or  Miriam).  Family  traditions  and  names 
prove  that  Hezekiah,  Mason,  and  Richard  were  also  his  sons  and  there  were 
doubtless  others.  In  his  will  he  left  a  farm  of  90  acres  on  Beaver  Hill  in 
Windham  to  his  son  Merari  or  Mexari.  He  is  said  to  have  been  an  officer  in

has  it  Merari.  The  old  manuscript  of  Windham  vital  records  made  by  Jonathan 
Clark  has  it  Miriam,  but  this  is  not  likely  'to  be  as  correct  as  one  of  the  others. 
Received  farm  at  Beaver  Hill,  Windham,  by  his  father's  will.

opinions;  of  great  vigor  of  both  mind  and  body  and  a  match  for  anyone

became  known  as  Abbe-ites.  His  home  was  ever  ojien  for  religious  meetings

in  Windham,  Conn.,  March  6,  1720-1;  died  August  13,  1807.  He  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Church  in  Scotland,  Windham  County,  Conn.,  at  the  time  of  the 
Separate  movement.  For  too  free  exercise  of  his  gift  of  exhortation,  he  was 
summarily  arrested  by  the  ci\dl  authority  and  kept  in  Hartford  jail  four 
months,  only  increasing  his  zeal,  devotion,  and  opposition  to  the  established 
churches.  After  further  trial,  the  church  united  in  calling  him  to  its  ministry, 
and  on  May  17,  1749,  he  was  ordained  its  pastor.  "Though  deficient  in  edu- 
cation and  somewhat  rough  in  speech  and  manner,  Mr.  Palmer  was  a  man  of 
estimable  character  and  sound  piety,  and  under  his  guidance  the  Brunswick 
church,  as  it  was  called,  maintained  for  many  years  a  good  standing  in  the 
community,  comparatively  free  from  those  excesses  and  fanaticisms  which 
marred  so  many  of  its  contemporaries.  No  difficulty  was  found  in  supporting 
its  worship  by  voluntary  contributions.  A  church  edifice  was  built  a  mile 
or  so  southeast  of  Scotland  Village,  long  known  as  the  Brunswick  meeting- 
house. Mr.  Devotion  (pastor  of  the  established  church)  was  never  reconciled 
to  this  intrusion  within  his  parochial  diocese,  but  was  accustomed  every  Sunday 
morning  to  send  his  negro  servant  with  a  rescript  to  the  Brunswick  meeting- 
house, forbidding  Mr.  Palmer  or  any  other  unauthorized  person  to  preach 
therein  that  day — a  prohibition  which  only  served  to  increase  the  number  of 
attendants  and  fan  the  spirit  of  separation  and  opposition."

57.  JOHN*  ABBE,  JR.,  son  of  Jolm^  and  Hannah  (  )  Abbe,  born  1724 
or  earlier,  probably  in  East  Hartford,  Conn.;  died  there  about  1763.  His 
name  appears  frequently  upon  the  deeds  of  tliat  town,  beginning  in  1745  when 
his  father,  John  Abbe,  transfen-ed  some  property  to  him.  In  1754  he  received 
a  grant  of  3  acres  in  the  town  distribution.  In  1759  John  Abbe,  jr.,  Solomon 
Hills  and  Sarah,  his  wife,  and  Naomi  Abbe,  deeded  land  in  Hartford  to  George 
and  John  Buck  of  Wethersfield.  (Hartford  Deeds,  7,  226;  8,  22;  14,  348;  9,  559; 
10,  247.)  He  was  collector  of  the  town  in  1748,  and  signed  petitions  in 
1748.  He  was  a  private  in  the  2d  Company,  1st  Regiment,  raised  by  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  John  Pitkin  for  the  reduction  of  Crown  Point,  April,  1755,  serving  for 
28  weeks.  March  2,  1763,  the  Court  granted  administration  on  his  estate  to 
Nehemiah  Abbe  of  Hartford,  who  exhibited  the  inventory  May  3,  1763.  (Hart- 
ford Probate  Records,  19,  pages  55,  67,  111.) 

Married  RUTH  GOODWIN,  who  died  1782.  She  was  daughter  of  John  and 
Sarah  (  )  Goodwin  of  Hartford.  December  13,  1771,  there  was  a  transfer 
of  land  ' '  set  out  to  tlie  said  Ruth  Abbee  as  part  of  the  estate  of  Caleb  Goodwin 
deceased. ' '  A  deed  of  September  13, 1782,  speaks  of  her  as  '  *  our  honored  mother 
Ruth  Abbe  deceased."  Administration  upon  her  estate  was  granted  to  her  son, 
John  Abbe,  jr.,  of  Hartford,  May  28,  1782,  and  the  inventory  of  the  estate 
was  recorded  in  October  of  the  same  year.  It  is  an  interesting  document,  con- 
taining such  items  as:  Great  Bible  3/;  3  old  books  1/6;  silk  crape  gown  9/6; 
silk  hoods  and  velvet  ones;  string  of  gold  beads  54/;  extensive  list  of  dishes

58.  STEPHEN*  ABBEY,  son  of  John='  and  Hannah  (  )  Abbe,  bom 
probably  at  East  Hartford,  Conn.,  about  1727;  died  there  March  26,  1798,  aged 
71.  The  first  mention  of  him  in  the  deeds  of  Hartford  is  in  1749,  then  in 
1754,  with  reference  to  land  on  the  west  side  of  the  "Great  River."  Later 
transactions  were  of  1760,  1761,  and  1765.  (Hartford  Deeds,  7,  page  541;  8, 
pages  26  and  111;  9,  page  388;  10,  pages  36,  37,  174;  12,  page  436.)  His 
home  was  on  the  east  side  of  the  "Great  River."  Administration  was  granted 
upon  his  estate,  July  6,  1798,  to  Jonathan  Stanley  of  East  Hartford.  The 
brief  inventory,  recorded  July  9,  1798,  gave  a  total  of  £204-12-9.  The  widow, 
Mary,  received  a  share.  Among  the  sales  was  one  to  "Theodore  Abby  1  acre 
&  half  Home  lot,  being  the  same  that  was  set  to  wid°  Mary  Abby  as  dower  in 
s-J  estate."  (Hartford  Probate  Records,  Vol.  25,  199,  220,  237;  Vol.  26,  63.) 
His  name  appears  as  signer  of  petitions  regarding  East  Hartford  lands.  (Con- 
necticut Archives,  State  Library,  IX,  281d,  with  autograph.)  He  was  collector 
of  the  town  in  1755.  In  1791  there  was  an  epidemic  of  small-pox  and  there  was 
a  fad,  which  proved  to  be  short-lived,  of  whole  families  inoculating  themselves 
with  the  disease  and  retiring  into  seclusion.  Stephen  Abbey  with  several  others 
petitioned  the  town  for  permission  to  do  this  in  April,  1791.  The  privilege  was 
taken  away  by  the  authorities  in  September  of  the  same  year,  but  we  have  no 
record  to  show  that  the  petitioners  really  tried  the  experiment  and  with  what 
results. 

Married  MARY  (or  MARAH)  .    There  was  a  widow  Mary  Abbey  who 

died  in  East  Hartford,  February  1,  1804,  and  one  who  died  April  10,  1809.

and  1754.  (Hartford  Deeds,  8,  pages  26,  303;  12,  page  358.)  He  was  on  the

Fourth  Generation  48 

War,  and  3  lead  pounds  and  6  flints  were  delivered  to  him.  (Connecticut  His- 
torical Society  Collections,  IX,  84.)  He  is  credited  with  5  days'  service  under 
Captain  Ebenezer  Wallisant,  dated  April  2,  1778.  (Vermont  Revolutionary  War 
Rolls.)  The  records  of  the  Pension  Office  at  Washington  show  that  Eleazer 
Abbe  entered  the  service  in  the  3d  Connecticut  Regiment,  April  16,  1778,  and 
was  discharged  from  the  1st  Regiment,  September  29,  1781 ;  he  was  a  resident 
of  East  Hartford  in  1788;  bounty  land  warrant  No.  267  for  100  acres  was 
allowed  on  this  service  and  was  delivered  to  Joel  Barlow,  April  25,  1805.  He 
is  doubtless  the  Eleazer  Abbe  of  the  1790  Census  in  Danby,  Rutland  County, 
Vt.,  one  male  over  16,  one  under  16,  3  females  in  family.  One  of  his  family 
may  have  been  Benjamin  Abbey,  recorded  in  the  1800  Census  in  Rutland,  1 
male  and  1  female  between  26  and  45,  5  boys  and  1  girl  under  10.

63.  JONATHAN^  ABBE,  JR.,  son  of  Jonathan^  and  Mary  (Johnson)  Abbe, 
born  in  Ashford  or  Willington,  Conn.,  about  1725.  No  record  of  his  birth 
has  been  found  but  he  is  designated  in  his  father's  will  as  eldest  son.  The 
following  land  transfers  in  Ashford,  Conn.,  probably  refer  to  him :  Jonathan 
of  Ashford,  1785 ;  same  1793 ;  agreement  with  Job  Tyler  regarding  a  mill 
privilege,  1795,  David  Abbey  being  a  witness.  (Ashfoixl  Land  Records,  Liber 
11,  page  663;  Liber  12,  pages  14,  371;  Liber  13,  pages  15,  16,  17.)  In  1768 
a  call  was  extended  by  the  Church  in  Westford  to  the  Reverend  Ebenezer 
Martin,  and  Jonathan  Abbe  is  one  of  the  names  subscribed  to  the  covenant 
of  the  newly-formed  church.  He  shared  pew  number  18  with  Ephraim  Walker 
when  the  new  church  was  built.  He  and  his  father  had  been  members  of  the 
"Willington  Church  in  1759.  Jonathan,  jr.,  is  said  to  have  lived  in  Tolland,  but 
no  records  of  his  residence  there  are  found.  A  Jonathan  Abbe  married  in 
Willington,  November  1,  1774,  Mary  Weston,  who  died  August  11,  1775.  This 
is  possibly  a  first  marriage  of  his  son,  Jonathan.  There  is  also  recorded  in 
Willington  the  marriage  of  Jonatlian  Abbe  to  Abigail  Osborn,  July  8,  1756,  and

ford who  were  allowed  the  improvement  of  their  gifts  in  public  prayer  and

76.  THOMAS*  ABBE  or  ABBEY,  son  of  Tliomas%  jr.,  and  Mary  (Pease) 
Abbe,  born  in  Enfield,  Conn.,  April  11,  1731;  died  there  June  1,  1811.  He  is 
unquestionably  buried  in  Enfield  although  the  huge  monument  of  a  more  recent 
family  has  probably  obscured  his  grave.  He  was  best  known  by  the  title  of 
Cajitain  Abbe.  His  fu'st  enlistment  noted  is  as  Corporal  in  the  3d  Company, 
1st  Regiment,  May  25  to  November  22,  1758;  then  as  Lieutenant  in  the  7th 
Company,  1st  Regiment,  under  Captain  Setli  King,  April  1  to  December  1, 
1761.  (Connecticut  Historical  Society  Collections,  X,  pages  10  and  247.)  He 
was  commissioned  captain,  January  1,  1777. 

In  his   ''Quest  of  Ancestors,"   Mr.  Alden  Freeman  says: 

That  long  line  of  warlike  Abbeys  beginning  with  John,  who  came  in  the  "Bonaventure" 
and  settled  in  Salem  in  1636 ;  his  son  Thomas,  who  settled  in  Enfield  after  King  Phillip's 
War;  his  grandson,  Lieutenant  Thomas  Abbey,  and  his  great-grandson,  Thomas  Abbey, 
ensign  and  lieutenant  in  the  French  and  Indian  Wars  and  afterward  captain  under 
Washington  throughout  the  Revolutionary  War,  whose  service  I  was  invited  to  represent 
in  the  Connecticut  Society  of  the  Cincinnati.  On  the  Thursday  following  the  battle  of 
Lexington,  Thomas  Abbey,  on  learning  of  the  fight,  procured  a  drum  and  actually 
drummed  the  people  out  of  the  meeting-house  at  Enfield,  where  they  were  gathered  at 
their  regular  weekday  lecture. 

This  interesting  event  was  beautifully  commemorated  by  a  poem  written  by 
Benjamin  F.  Taylor,  and  published  in  the  Atlantic  Monthly  in  May,  1878,  and 
the  following  is  a  copy  of  the  poem : 

THE  CAPTAIN'S  DRUM 

In  Pilgrim  land,  one  Sabbath  day. 

The  winter  lay  like  sheep  about 
The  ragged  pastures  mullein  gray ; 

The  April  sun  shone  in  and  out. 
The  showers  swept  by  in  fitful  flocks. 
And  eaves  ticked  fast  like  mantel  clocks ; 

And  now  and  then  a  wealthy  cloud 

Would  wear  a  ribbon  broad  and  bright, 
And  now  and  then  a  winged  crowd 

Of  shivering  azure  flash  in  sight. 
So  rainbows  bend  and  bluebirds  fly 
And  violets  show  their  bits  of  sky. 

To  Enfield  church  throng  all  the  town, 

In  quilted  hood  and  bombazine. 
In  beaver  hat  and  flaring  crown. 

And  quaint  Vandyke  and  victorine ; 
And  buttoned  boys  in  roundabout 
From  calyx  collars  blossom  out ; 

Bandanas  wave  their  feeble  fire. 

And  foot-stoves  tinkle  up  the  aisle ; 
A  gray-haired  elder  leads  the  choir. 

And  girls  in  linsey-woolsey  smile. 
So  back  to  life  the  beings  glide 
Whose  very  graves  have  ebbed  and  died. 

One  hundred  years  have  waned,  and  yet 

We  call  the  roll,  and  not  in  vain. 
For  one  whose  flint-lock  musket  set 

The  echoes  wild  around  Fort  Duquesne, 
And  smelled  the  battle's  powder  smoke 
Ere  Revolution's  thunders  woke. 


52  Abbe-Abbey  Genealogy 

Lo,  Thomas  Abbey  answers,    "Here !" 
Within  the  dull  long-metre  place, 

That  day,  upon  the  parson's  ear, 

And  trampling  down  his  words  of  grace, 

A  horseman's  gallop  rudely  beat 

Along  the  splashed  and  empty  street. 

•  The  rider  drew  his  dripping  rein, 

And  then  a  letter,  wasp-nest  gray, 
That  ran  :    "The  Concord  minute-men 

And  red-coats  had  a  fight  to-day ! 
To  Captain  Abbey  this  with  speed." 
Twelve  little  words  to  tell  the  deed. 

The  captain  read,  struck  out  for  home 
The  old  quickstep  of  battle  born. 

Slung  on  once  more  a  battered  drum 
That  bore  a  painted  unicorn 

Then  right-about,  as  whirls  a  torch, 

He  stood  before  the  sacred  porch. 

And  then  a  murmuring  of  bees 

Broke  in  upon  the  house  of  prayer ; 

And  then  a  wind-song  swept  the  trees. 
And  then  a  snarl  from  wolfish  lair ; 

And  then  a  charge  of  grenadiers, 

And  then  a  flight  of  drum-beat  cheers. 

So  drum  and  doctrine  rudely  blent, 
The  casements  rattled  strange  accord ; 

No  mortal  knew  what  either  meant ; 
'Twas  double-grad  and  Holy  Word, 

Thus  saith  the  drum,  and  thus  the  Lord. 

The  captain  raised  so  wild  a  rout 

He  drummed  the  congregation  out. 

The  people  gathered  round  amazed ; 

The  soldier  bared  his  head  and  spoke. 
And  every  sentence  burned  and  blazed. 

As  trenchant  as  a  sabre  stroke : 
"  'Tis  time  to  pick  the  flint  to-day. 
To  sling  the  knapsack,  and  away ! 

"The  green  of  Lexington  is  red 

With  British  red-coats,  brothers'  blood  ! 

In  rightful  cause  the  earliest  dead 
Are  always  best  beloved  of  God. 

Mark  time  !     Now  let  the  march  begin  ! 

All  bound  for  Boston  fall  right  in!" 

Then  rub-a-dub  the  drum  jarred  on, 
The  throbbing  roll  of  battle  beat ; 

"Fall  in,  my  men !"   and  one  by  one 

They  rhymed  the  tune  with  heart  and  feet. 

And  so  they  made  a  Sabbath  march 

To  glory  'neath  the  elm-tree  arch. 

The  Continental  line  unwound 

Along  the  Church-yard's  breathless  sod, 

And  holier  grew  the  hallowed  ground 
Where  Virtue  slept  and  Valor  trod, 

Two  hundred  strong  that  April  day 

They  rallied  out  and  marched  away. 

Brigaded  there  at  Bunker  Hill, 

Their  names  are  writ  on  Glory's  page. 

The  brave  old  captain's  Sunday  drill 
Has  drummed  its  way  across  the  age.

The  church  around  which  Captain  Abbey  beat  the  long  roll  was  completed 
in  the  January  preceding,  and  stood  near  the  present  church.  It  was  used  as 
a  church  for  the  town  until  18i9,  wlien  it  was  bought  by  the  town  and  moved 
to  the  west  side  of  the  street,  where  it  now  stands  and  has  been  used  as  a 
town  liall  ever  since.  A  memorial  to  Captain  Abbey  and  others  of  the  family 
is  about  to  be  erected  by  Mr.  Alden  Freeman  witli  his  mother  and  sisters. 

The  Abbey  Memorial  Avill  be  on  the  Green  in  Enfield,  on  the  site  of  the 
church  out  of  whieli  Captain  Abbey  drummed  the  congregation  at  the  Lex- 
ington Alarm.  The  actual  site  of  the  old  church  is  just  in  front  of  the 
present  edifice.  The  design  calls  for  a  marble  statue  on  a  pedestal  surrounded 
by  four  marble  seats  in  the  Greek  style.  On  the  backs  of  these  seats  are 
inscriptions  commemorating  the  achievements  of  some  of  the  best  known  descend- 
ants of  the  Abbey  family,  in  the  fields  of  war,  literature  and  science.  The 
sculptor,  Sherry  E.  Fry,  used  as  a  model  for  tlie  face  and  figure  for  the  statue 
of  Captain  Abbey,  a  daguerreotype  of  his  grandson,  Seth  Alden  Abbey,  taken 
at  the  same  age.  Daniel  C.  French,  sculptor  of  the  ''Minute  Men"  unveiled 
at  Concord  Bridge  in  1875,  has  taken  gi-eat  interest  in  the  work  of  Mr.  Fry,  and 
loaned  him  tlie  simple  Colonial  suit  used  for  the  presentation  of  Captain  Abbey. 

Tlie  following  is  an  extract  from  a  letter  written  by  Seth  Alden^  Abbey  to  his 
son,  Henry  G.  Abbey,  dated  June  15,  1872,  telling  something  of  Thomas  Abbey : 

When  a  small  boy,  I  was  frequently  at  his  house  for  a  week  at  a  time  and  have  heard 
him  tell  many  a  thrilling  tale  of  his  hairbreadth  escapes,  hardships,  sufferings,  etc. 
During  the  French  War  he  received  a  commission  as  Ensign  in  the  Colonial  troops  and 
saw  considerable  service  against  the  French  and  Indians.  At  the  breaking  out  of  the 
Revolution,  a  volunteer  company  was  formed  in  his  neighborhood  and  he  was  elected 
their  captain  and  they  were  soon  ordered  to  join  Colonel  Willett's  Regiment  in  New 
York.  I  have  heard  him  say,  frequently,  that  he  had  chances  of  promotion,  often,  but 
his  men  would  not  consent  to  his  leaving  them.  When  a  boy  I  saw  many  of  his  old 
soldiers  who  had  served  during  the  war ;  and  the  neighbors  were  as  particular  in  address- 
ing any  of  them,  in  giving  them  their  title,  as  Corporal  such  a  one,  or  Sergeant  such  a 
one,  as  they  would  be  in  addressing  a  General.  Thomas  Abbey  died  in  1811,  and  was 
as  anxious  for  a  fight  with  old  England,  which  was  then  much  talked  of,  just  before 
his  death,  as  in  his  younger  days.     He  died  suddenly  with  apoplexy. 

Captain  Thomas*  Abbe  married  in  Enfield,  June  22,  1749,  PENELOPE  TERRY, 
born  in  Enfield,  February  5,  1729-30;  died  there  December  2,  1817.  She  was 
the  daughter  of  Dr.  (or  Captain)  Ebenezer  and  Mary  (Helms)  Terry.

from  Enfield  to  Tolland,  Conn.,  then  up  the  Connecticut  River  to  Hanover  in 
search  of  land  to  which  he  had  a  claim.  Being  disappointed  and  discouraged, 
he  determined  to  return  to  Tolland.  He  consulted,  however,  with  friends  at 
Walpole,  and  finally  made  a  purchase  near  the  west  line  in  Alstead,  N.  H., 
where  his  wife's  sister,  Martha,  had  removed  after  her  mamage.  He,  with  his 
son,  John,  came  on  to  the  land,  which  was  covered  with  hea^^  timber,  and  the 
first  tree  that  was  felled  parted  a  limb  wliieh  struck  his  head  and  injured  him 
severely.  He  was  carried  by  his  son  to  Walpole,  where  he  in  a  measure  recov- 
ered, though  he  was  never  perfectly  restored  to  his  former  health.

85.  JOSEPH"  ABBE,  probably  son  of  Obadiali*  and  Elizabeth  (  )  Abbe, 
although  his  birth  is  not  recorded  in  Willington,  Conn.,  with  other  children 
of  that  Obadiah.  He  was  born  about  1733  and  died  in  1809.  The  records  of 
this  family  are  somewhat  confused  but  it  seems  likely  that  all  the  data  here 
given  must  refer  to  the  family  of  this  Joseph  Abbe.  Norwich,  Connecticut, 
Records,  23,  page  436,  mention  "Joseph  Abbe  and  wife  Dele,  both  of  Spring- 
field in  the  State  of  Massachusetts  Bay  ....  received  property  from  our

Samuel  Pitcher  deceased  who  was  natural  brother  to  said  Jonathan,"  June  13, 
1779.    Joseph  and  Dittie  Abbe  are  also  in  the  records  of  Springfield,  Mass. 

MaiTied  in  Willington,  Conn.,  June  10,  1765,  DELIVERANCE  ARMSTRONG. 
This  marriage  is  recorded  in  Willington,  According  to  a  record  from  the 
descendants  she  is  called  Dilla  Pitcher.  Perhaps  she  was  a  widow  when  married 
to  Joseph  Abbe,  or  her  mother  may  have  married  a  second  time  and  the 
daughter  used  the  name  of  her  step-father  at  the  time  of  her  marriage.  She 
died  November,  1840,  aged  102  yrs.,  7  mos.,  15  days.

who  was  one  of  the  early  settlers  of  Eaton,  Madison  County,  N.  Y.,  in  1795. 
He  was  perhaps  the  father  of  Daniel  Abbe  who  m.  Esther  Nunn,  and  of  Shubael 
who  lived  in  Buffalo  at  one  time.  Nathaniel  Abbey,  who  had  a  brother  Orrin,

114.  RACHEL'^^  ABBE,  daughter  of  Joshua*  and  Mary  (Ripley)  Abbe,  born 
February  6,  1738-9,  in  North  Windham,  Conn.;  died  June  22,  1795,  buried  in 
Woodstock,  Conn.  A  lasting  memorial  of  her  patriotism  aroused  by  the  neAvs 
of  Lexington  in  April,  1775,  is  found  in  Woodstock. 

Rachel  Abbe  of  Windham,  now  Mrs.  Samuel  McClellan,  shared  in  the  patriotic  fervor 
which  so  characterized  the  women  of  her  native  town,  and  after  fitting  out  her  husband 
and  his  horsemen,  she  set  out  memorial  trees  in  honor  of  the  joyful  occasion.  Four 
sapling  elms  brought  up  on  horseback  from  the  old  Windham  homestead,  were  carefully 
transplated  into  the  soil  of  Woodstock — two  in  front  of  her  dwelling  and  two  on  the 
slope  of  the  adjoining  common.  Nurtured  with  care  and  pains  they  soon  took  root  and 
flourished  and  for  more  than  an  hundred  years  have  told  the  story  of  Lexington.  True 
trees  of  Liberty,  they  have  grown  up  with  the  Nation,  and  still  stand  in  majestic  beauty, 
living  witnesses  to  the  patriotism  and  devotion  of  the  women  of  Windham  County. 

Married  in  Windham,  as  his  second  wife,  March  5,  1766,  SAMUEL  MC  CLEL- 
LAN,  born  January  4,  1730,  in  Worcester,  Mass.;  died  September  17,  1807,  in 
Woodstock,  Conn. ;  buried  there.  His  parents  emigrated  from  Kircudbright,  on 
the  Firth  of  Solway  in  Scotland.  He  married  (1)  November  16,  1757,  Jemima 
Chandler,  by  whom  he  had  children:  Samuel,  William,  Lemuel  and  Polly.  He 
married  (3)  July  3,  1798,  Mrs.  Eunice  Folunsbee  of  Worcester. 

Samuel  MeClellan  served  as  Ensign  and  Lieutenant  of  a  company  in  the 
French  war  and  was  wounded  in  battle.  Upon  his  return  from  the  provincial 
campaign  he  purchased  a  farm  in  Woodstock,  married  and  settled  there.  He 
later  engaged  in  mercantile  business  and  established  an  extensive  trade,  import- 
ing his  own  goods  and  supplying  neighboring  merchants.  When  the  Revolution 
put  a  stop  to  his  trade  he  trained  and  equipped  the  countj^  militia.  A  fine  troop 
of  horse  was  raised  in  Woodstock,  Pomfret  and  Killingly,  of  which  he  became 
commander.  He  rose  by  promotions  until  1784  when  he  was  Brigadier-General 
of  the  5th  Brigade,  Connecticut  militia.  In  1776  his  regiment  was  ordered  into 
service  and  stationed  in  and  about  New  Jersey.  He  was  solicited  by  General 
Washington  to  join  the  Continental  Army  and  was  offered  an  important  com- 
mission biit  his  domestic  and  business  affairs  compelled  him  to  refuse.  After 
the  invasion  and  burning  of  New  London  and  the  massacre  at  Fort  Groton,  he 
was  appointed  over  the  troops  stationed  at  those  points  and  continued  the  com- 
mand until  the  close  of  the  war,  acting  as  commissary  in  the  purchase  and  for- 
warding of  provisions  for  the  army  when  not  otherwise  in  active  service.  He 
returned  to  mercantile  business  after  the  war  bitt  soon  gave  it  up  to  manage 
his  extensive  estates.  He  was  highly  esteemed  as  a  Christian  gentleman  and 
was  honored  by  his  townsmen  by  many  important  offices.

74  Abbe- Abbey  Genealogy 

epitaph,  from  the  okl  Windham  burying-ground,  gives  a  clear  account  of  this 
worthy  citizen: 

In  memory  of  SHUBAEL  ABBE,  Esq.,  who  died  suddenly  April  16,  1804,  aged  59. 
He  graduated  at  Yale  College  in  1764.  He  was  several  years  in  the  business  of 
merchandise,  and  by  his  own  exertion  became  largely  engaged  in  husbandry.  In  1783 
he  was  appointed  Sheriff  of  the  County  of  Windham  and  continued  in  the  most 
unexceptionable  manner  to  discharge  the  duties  of  that  office  till  his  death.  He  was 
often  chosen  a  Representative  of  the  town,  in  1798,  he  was  appointed  by  the  Presi- 
dent one  of  the  Commissioners  of  the  land  tax.  And  by  the  Assembly  one  of  the 
Committee  to  manage  the  school  funds.  In  domestic  life  he  was  indulgent  and  decisive. 
In  public  business,  active,  punctual,  and  correct.  In  his  attachment  to  civil  and 
religious  institutions  he  was  exemplary,  and  to  the  poor  and  afflicted  humane  and 
generous.  His  abilities  and  integrity  secured  to  him  the  esteem  and  confidence  of  his 
feUow  Citizens,  and  his  death  was  extensively  and  deeply  regretted. 

He  left  a  widow,  three  sons  and  five  daughters  to  mourn  an  irreparable  loss. 

Tears  flow  nor  cease  where  Abbe's  ashes  sleep, 
For  him  a  wife  and  tenderest  children  weep, 
And  Justly — for  few  shall  ever  him  transcend, 
A  husband,  parent,  and  a  faithful  friend. 

He  received  the  degree  A.B.  from  Yale  College  in  1764  and  A.M.  in  1767. 

His  inventory,  taken  May  8,  1804,  denotes  an  estate  of  $29,412.85;  papers 
mentioning  the  widow  and  children.  (Windham  Probate  Records,  Vol.  15,  pages 
111,  176,  362,  468.) 

The  following  letter,  found  among  some  old  papers  by  Dr.  J.  H.  Weeks  of

November  22,  1746,  in  Nortli  Windham,  Conn. ;  died  June  19,  1800.  Mr.  Phineas 
Abbe  Departed  this  Life  17*^^  day  of  June  on  Tuesday  in  the  afternoon  at  four 
o'clock  in  the  54  j'ear  of  his  age  1800.  (Bible  Record.)  He  was  a  respected 
and  prosperous  farmer  of  Windham,  took  an  active  part  in  all  matters  of  public 
welfare,  held  various  civil  offices,  including  that  of  jailer.  During  the  Revolu- 
tion he  had  at  one  time  some  English  prisoners  who  ornamented  tlie  wall  of 
their  room  or  cell  with  a  fine  large  picture  of  their  ship.  It  was  later  revealed 
that  this  was  only  to  conceal  efforts  they  were  making  to  remove  a  portion 
of  the  wall  and  make  their  escape.  When  they  finally  succeeded  in  getting 
away,  tliey  left  word  to  their  jailer  that  they  were  about  to  sail  soon. 

At  his  death  his  property  was  inventoried  at  $9,919.40,  with  325  acres  of 
land.  The  inventory,  taken  October  12,  1801,  is  a  most  interesting  document 
with  its  long  enumeration  of  articles  of  furniture  and  Avearing  apparel,  among 
which  were  chairs  and  tables  of  several  kinds,  six  fiddle-back  chairs,  silver 
knee-buckles  and  plated  shoe-buckles.  The  property  was  distributed  to  the 
widow,  Susannah,  and  children:  Mary  Taintor,  Joshua,  Lucy,  Thomas,  George, 
Charles,  Moses,  Lucius,  Henry  and  Samuel.  (Windham  Probate  Records,  Vol.

120.  JOSHUA^  ABBE,  JR.,  son  of  Joshua*  and  Mary  (Ripley)  Abbe,  born 
in  Windham,  Conn.,  January  9,  1751.  He  was  a  man  of  strong  religious  impulses, 
opposed  to  orthodox  preaching,  and  became  a  preacher  of  the  Christian  denomi- 


Fifth  Generation  77 

nation,  or,  as  it  was  at  times  called,  the  Congregational  Baptist.  In  1826  he  was 
on  the  register  of  preachers.  Larncd's  History  of  Windham  County,  page  221, 
"Vol.  2,  says  this : 

In  the  north  part  of  Winilhani,  whioh  was  now  becoming  a  populous  neighborhood,  a 
remarkable  worship  was  conducted  by  Joshua  Abbe.  Rev.  Moses  Cook  Welch  of  Mansfield 
represented  '-these  Abbe-itcs  as  a  sect  of  Baptists,  differing  from  any  and  all  of  that 
denomination  that  had  ever  risen  in  any  age,  having  no  communication  even  with  other 
Baptist  churches.  Their  meetings  were  characterized  by  jargon,  disorder  and  great 
confusion  ;  all  were  allowed  to  speak  at  pleasure,  women  as  well  as  men,  three,  four,  or 
six  sometimes  speaking  at  once,  while  groans,  sobs,  and  sighs  were  reiterated  by  others." 

As  the  Rev.  Moses  Cook  Welch  Avas  an  orthodox  preacher  of  the  same 
neighborhood  and  entered  into  violent  controversy  over  these  unorthodox 
preachers,  we  may  believe  that  this  account  may  have  been  somewhat  colored 
by  his  personal  feelings. 

In  the  Census  of  1800,  he  is  doubtless  the  Joshua  Abbe  of  Windham,  with  a 
family  of  15. 

Joshua  Abbe  resided  in  North  Windham  on  his  father's  home  farm  and  later 
emigrated  to  Leroy,  N.  Y.,  where  he  died.  A  settlement  was  made  between  his 
widow  and  George  W.  Abbe,  administrator,  October  15,  1836.  (Windham

April  14,  1758,  in  Mansfield,  Conn.;  died  at  Hall's  Corners,  N.  Y.,  August  6, 
1833.  He  enlisted  from  Mansfield,  April,  1775,  for  one  month;  June,  1775,  for 
six  months,  under  Lieutenant  Dana,  Colonel  Storrs;  December  1,  1775,  to 
January  1,  1777,  under  Captain  John  Keyes,  Colonel  John  Durkee;  was  at  the 
capture  of  the  Hessians  at  Trenton.  One  of  his  descendants,  Mr.  Gehial  Hall 
Abbey,  has  the  chest  which  he  carried  during  his  service  in  the  Revolution.  On 
April  19,  1818,  William  Abbey  applied  for  a  pension,  at  that  time  being  a  resident 
of  Onondaga  County,  N.  Y.  In  pension  papers  of  1820,  mention  was  made  of 
his  children:  Nathan,  aged  33:  Isabel,  aged  22;  Lydia,  aged  20;  and  a  gTand- 
child,  Eunice  Abbe,  "all  of  which  I  provide  for  and  support  besides  myself, 
who  have  not  done  a  day 's  work  this  twelve  years  past  on  account  of  infirmity. ' ' 
In  sjiite  of  this  infirmity,  he  seems  to  have  been  well-to-do,  as  he  owned  property 
worth  $68.75  and  owed  but  $12.00.  His  name  is  on  the  tablet  in  memory  of  the 
Revolutionary  soldiers  of  Onondaga  County,  in  the  Post  Office  at  Syracuse. 
The  Census  of  1790  records  him  at  Duanesburg,  Albany  County,  N.  Y.,  1  male 
over  16,  3  males  under  16,  3  females  in  the  family.     In  1810  he  was  of  the  town

had  been  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  potash  and  pearlash  and  had  learned

Oneida  Co."  John  and  Ruth  Abbey  with  other  settlers  subscribed  to  a  docu- 
ment in  1839.  His  will,  made  March  5,  1854,  probated  December  7,  1854,  calls 
him  of  Madison  County,  and  names  wife  Ruth,  and  children:  Edwin,  George, 
Maria  Terry,  Henry,  Ira,  and  Mary  Loomis.  He  may  be  John  Abbe}^,  the 
Lieutenant  for  133d  Regiment,  April  24,  1818,  Chenango  and  Delaware  Counties, 
N.  Y.,  and  Captain  of  193d  Regiment,  1820.

159.  JONATHAN'  ABBEY,  3D,  son  of  Jonathan*,  jr.,  and  Alice  (Johnson) 
Abbey,  born  February  2G,  1853,  in  AVillington,  Conn.;  died  October  5,  1807,  at 
Olive  (Shokan),  N.  Y.  He  was  probably  living  at  Ashford,  Conn.,  at  the  time 
of  the  1790  Census,  2  males  over  18,  3  males  under  18,  5  females  in  the  family. 
In  the  1800  Census  he  is  recorded  with  1  male  and  1  female  over  45,  1  male 
and  2  females  between  16  and  26,  and  1  male  between  10  and  16.  He  removed 
to  Shokan,  Ulster  County,  N.  Y.,  in  1802. 

The  story  is  told  in  the  family  that  Jonathan  Abbey  was  in  the  company  of 
patriots  with  General  Israel  Putnam  when,  on  February'  26,  1779,  General  Putnam 
escaped  from  1500  English  and  Tories  by  running  his  horse  doAvn  a  hundred 
steps  in  the  rock  at  Horseneek  Hill,  Greenwich,  Conn.  Jonathan  said  that 
Putnam  told  his  men  to  look  out  for  themselves,  to  retreat  as  best  they  could, 
and  that  he,  being  mounted,  would  take  care  of  himself.  The  British  broke 
in  upon  the  company,  who  ran  into  a  swamp,  and  Putnam  started  off,  closely 
pursued  by  dragoons.  Presently  pistol  shots  were  heard,  Putnam  dashed  down 
the  rocky  steps,  and  the  company  never  expected  to  behold  him  alive  again, 
but  soon  they  were  delighted  to  see  him  come  cantering  back  as  if  nothing 
had  hajipened,  and  with  no  wound  greater  than  a  bullet-hole  through  his 
three-cornered  hat.

Fifth  Generation  103 

175.  OBADIAH''  ABBE,  son  of  Thomas*  and  Penelope  (Terry)  Abbe,  born 
June  15,  1752,  in  Enfield,  Conn.  Lived  at  Warehouse  Point.  He  appears  to 
have  left  Enfield  after  about  1783  as  no  further  records  of  his  family  appear 
there.  One  account  says  he  moved  from  the  Ferry  ' '  out  west. "  He  is  probably 
the  Obadiah  Abbe  who  was  recorded  in  the  1790  Census  in  East  Windsor, 
Conn.,  1  male  over  16,  2  males  under  16,  4  females  in  his  family. 

Married  JANE  MC  CLESTER.  Stiles'  Ancient  Windsor  wrongly  records  that 
Charles  Abbe  married  Jane  Maclester,  only  child  of  an  Irish  merchant,  and  had 
daughters,  Jane,  born  January  6,  1780,  and  Sally,  born  October  1,  1792.  Mr. 
James  Allen  Kibbe  proves  this  error  by  an  examination  of  the  records  in 
Enfield  and  Hartford.  He  finds  that  James  McClester  left  an  estate  settled 
between  October  20,  1778,  and  June  13,  1786,  mentioning  a  widow,  Elizabeth, 
and  children,  James,  John,  Jane,  wife  of  Obadiah  Abbe,  and  Eleanor,  wife  of 
Elihu  Geer.     (Found  in  Hartford  probate  files  and  partly  in  Book  23.)

born  in  Enfield,  Conn.,  March  24,  1755.  One  account  gives  the  death  of 
Penelope  Abbe  May  17,  1759.  If  so,  there  must  have  been  two  daughters  of 
that  name.

May  17,   1824,   son   of  Ebenezer  and  Mary    (         )    Bicknell.     He   married    (2)

15  he  w^as  mail  carrier  from  Jackson,  Mo.,  to  Golconda,  111.,  working  half  the 
year  to  defray  the  expenses  of  his  schooling  the  other  half.  At  19  he  went

chased a  cotton  plantation.  Since  early  life  he  had  been  a  Methodist  and

prosecuting  a  claim  against  the  United  States  in  favor  of  tlie  M.  E.  Cliurch 
South.  In  1876  failing  health  compelled  him  to  retire  from  active  service  and 
to  be  put  tipon  the  supernumerary  list.  He  made  his  home  thereafter  in  Yazoo 
City,  Miss.  He  was  always  a  hard  and  industrious  student  and  is  the  author

136  Abbe- Abbey  Genealogy 

Waterman,  grandson  of  Nehemiah  and  Sarali  (Gifford)  Waterman,  great-grand- 
son of  Ensign  Thomas  and  Elizabeth  (Allyii)  Waterman,  great-great-grandson 
of  Lieutenant  Thomas  and  Miriam  (Tracey)  Waterman,  and  great-great-great- 
grandson  of  Robert  and  Martha  (Bourne)  Waterman,  Robert  Waterman  came 
from  Norwich,  England,  in  1636  and  settled  in  Marshfield,  Mass.  Martha  Bourne 
was  a  sister  of  the  wife  of  Governor  Bradford's  son,  John  Bradford.  Lieutenant 
Thomas  Waterman  was  one  of  the  original  proprietors  of  Norwich,  Conn.  Elijah 
Watemian  was  graduated  from  Yale  College  in  1791,  and  taught  in  Hartford  for 
a  year.  He  had  intended  to  study  law  but  decided  to  take  up  theology  instead. 
He  was  licensed  to  preach  in  Preston,  Conn.,  May,  1793,  and  continued  his 
studies,  preaching  as  supply,  until  1794,  when  he  took  charge  of  the  church 
at  Windham.  He  continued  its  pastor  for  ten  years,  and,  after  a  short  period 
of  supply  at  New  Milford,  he  was  called  to  the  church  at  Bridgeport,  where  he 
remained  until  the  close  of  his  life.  He  was  known  as  an  earnest,  independent, 
public-spirited  man,  highly  esteemed  as  a  preacher.  Several  of  his  sermons 
and  orations  were  published.  He  collected  materials  for  a  history  of  Windham 
which  unfortunately  became  scattered  and  were  never  used.  While  he  was 
pastor  at  Windham  he  made  a  trip  to  the  western  part  of  New  York  State  in 
order  to  secure  copies  of  early  Windham  Church  records  and  he  made  a  copy 
of  those  records  as  far  as  he  could  obtain  them  at  the  time. 

He  married  (2)  MRS.  LUCY  (WOLCOTT)  TALCOTT  of  Springfield,  widow 
of  Captain  Henry  Talcott  of  Windsor,  by  whom  he  had  one  daughter,  Lucy, 
who  married  Henry  Thomas.

251.  JOSHUA«  ABBE,  son  of  Phineas^  and  Mary  (Bingham)  Abbe,  born 
February  15,  1775,  on  tlie  farm  south  of  Windham  Center,  Conn.,  later  bought 
by  his  brother  George;  died  at  East  Thomaston  (Rockland),  Maine,  January  20, 
1849.  At  14  he  was  a  clerk  with  a  Mr.  Woodbridge  in  Norwich,  where  he 
probably  remained  until  he  was  21.  He  then  went  to  New  London,  and  about 
1802  to  New  Gloucester,  Maine,  with  Godfrey  Grosvenor.  In  1832  he  moved  to 
Bangor  and  after  eight  years,  having  retired  from  business,  he  broke  up  house- 
keeping and  went  to  live  with  his  daughter  at  Rockland,  then  East  Thomaston. 
He  was  a  successful  merchant,  though  not  well  known  outside  of  his  immediate 
circle  of  friends,  owing  to  his  retiring  disposition  which  led  him  to  refuse  offers 
of  public  office. 

Married  in  Hudson,  N.  Y.,  August  15,  1815,  MARCIA  GROSVENOR,  born 
October  23,  1770;  died  December  20,  1857.  She  was  the  daughter  of  Seth 
and  Abigail  (Keyes)  Grosvenor  of  Potnfret,  Conn.

252.  GEORGE''  ABBE,  son  of  PliineasS  and  Susanna  (Brown)  Abbe,  born 
in  Windham,  Conn.,  May  17,  1781;  died  in  Windham,  September,  1851.  He 
resided  for  many  years  in  New  York  City,  where  he  was  a  member  of  tlie  firm 
of  Hill,  Fish  and  Abbe,  a  transportation  company  between  New  York  and  Phila- 
delphia.  Mr.  Hill  of  the  firm  attended  to  its  interests  in  Philadelphia,  Mr.  Fish 
at  Trenton,  and  Mr.  Abbe  at  New  York.  Boats  were  used  between  New  York 
and  Perth  Amboy  and  these  were  in  charge  of  Captain  Jacob  Vanderbilt  and 
his  brother  Cornelius,  afterwards  known  as  Commodore.  From  Amboy  pas- 
sengers were  taken  to  Philadelphia  in  coaches.  The  transportation  company  was 
merged  into  the  Camden  and  Amboy  Railroad  when  that  was  built.  It  was  the 
first  passenger  railroad  in  the  United  States.  Mr.  Samuel  Badger  Abbe,  then 
a  mere  child,  was  taken  on  the  excursion  train  that  he  might  ride  on  the 
first  passenger  car  in  America.  Mr.  Abbe  moved  to  Windham  in  1835.  He 
had  a  large  fortune,  as  fortunes  went  in  those  days,  when  he  left  New  York, 
but  much  of  it  disappeared  before  his  death  in  various  enterprises  with  which 
he  was  connected. 

Married  CHARLOTTE  HACKSTAFF,  born  November  19,  1798,  at  Sing  Sing, 
N.  Y.,  daughter  of  Lodowick  and  Anne  (Halleck)  Hackstaff;   died  January,  1865.

Samuel  Badger-  Alhe,  b.  in  New  York  City,  Nov.  25,  1829  ;  d.  at  Fort  Snelling, 
Minn.,  Oct.  4,  1864.  Married  at  Scotland,  Conn.,  Aug.  25,  1858,  Abby  Fuller, 
b.  at  Scotland,  March  15,  1833.  She  resides  in  St.  Paul,  Minn.  The  following 
account  of  Mr.  Abbe's  life  is  taken  from  a  letter  of  Mrs.  Abbe : 

"Of  the  early  life  of  my  husband  I  know  little,  only  he  was  placed  at  school 
when  be  was  six  years  of  age,  somewhere  up  the  Hudson,  and  later  attended 
school  at  Pomfret,  Conn.,  perhaps  elsewhere.  From  a  few  old  letters  to  his 
brother,  I  find  that  he  sailed  from  New  York  to  California,  Nov.  17,  1849,  in 
company  with  a  young  man  of  his  own  age,  barely  twenty.  The  boat  had  been 
fitted  for  them  with  the  intention  of  its  being  placed  on  the  Sacramento  River 
when  they  arrived.  Evidently  it  was  unfit  for  ocean  travel  as  it  was  so  small  it 
could  only  carry  fuel  from  port  to  port.  After  going  through  the  Straits  of 
Magellan  with  great  difficulty  and  danger,  they  landed  at  Panama,  July  7,  1850, 
eight  months  from  New  York,  and  one  month  later  reached  San  Francisco.  The 
boat  fulfilled  its  intention  and  was  placed  on  the  Sacramento  River  and  was  a 
financial  success. 

"Mr.  Abbe  remained  in  California  until  early  in  1852.  His  father's  death  had 
occurred  a  short  time  before,  and,  urged  by  his  mother,  he  went  home  to  look 
after  his  father's  estate.  He  crossed  the  Isthmus  on  his  return,  a  rough  trip  at 
that  time.  He  remained  in  Windham  until  the  spring  of  1853  when  he  went  to 
St.  Paul,  met  with  a  severe  accident  that  detained  him  there  some  mouths, 
abandoned  the  idea  of  returning  to  California,  decided  to  remain  in  the  then 
young  territory  of  Minnesota,  and,  like  all  the  young  men  there,  lent  himself 
to  the  work  of  building  up  a  new  state.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Legislature, 
a  delegate  to  Railroad  and  State  Conventions,  laid  out  town  sites  and  many  other 
matters  pertaining  to  the  youth  of  a  new  country.  A  year  or  two  later,  a  sale 
was  made  of  the  large  military  reservation  at  Fort  Ripley  on  the  upper  Missis- 
sippi, in  which  he  became  interested,  and,  in  1860,  built  a  house  there,  pre- 
paratory to  starting  a  ranch,  but  before  his  plans  were  completed,  the  Civil  War 
broke  out.  The  regular  troops  were  ordered  away,  in  consequence  came  the 
Indian  outbreak  which  swept  the  entire  state.  They  burned  the  Missions,  drove 
off  the  settlers  and  moved  down  to  the  Agency.  The  Government  Agent,  crazed 
with  fright,  committed  suicide  and  the  country  was  left  to  frontiersmen.  We 
went  into  the  Post,  Fort  Ripley,  which  was  garrisoned  with  only  a  few  raw 
recruits.  After  days  and  weeks  of  suspense,  the  Commissioner  of  Indian  affairs, 
with  Mr.  Nicolay,  Private  Secretary  to  President  Lincoln,  and  a  few  troops, 
came  to  our  relief.  Even  then,  after  long  delay,  the  Chiefs  met  them  in  council, 
they  were  all  surrounded,  and  barely  escaped  with  their  lives,  as  Mr.  Nicolay 
wrote  afterwards  in  an  article  in  Harper's  Monthly.

"Mr.  Abbe  never  recovered  from  the  labor  and  suspense  involved.  We  never 
returned  to  our  home  but  went  to  St.  Paul.  Mr.  Abbe  went  to  Washington, 
made  a  hasty  visit  to  AVindham  and  went  with  the  Commissioner  of  Indian 
Affairs  and  other  officials  to  the  Red  River,  where  the  Indians  were  turbulent, 
to  make  a  treaty.  He  took  a  sevei'e  cold  from  which  he  never  recovered.  He  was 
given  officer's  quarters  at  Fort  SneUing  where  he  lived  for  some  months,  and  in 
that  gray  old  fort,  that  had  seen  so  many  tragedies,  his  adventurous  and  promis- 
ing life  ended."

261.  JESSE"  ABBEY,  son  of  Joshua^,  jr.,  and  Tryphena  (Bass)  Abbe,  born

Mich.  He  removed  to  Ohio  and  later  to  Michigan,  where  he  kept  a  hotel  and 
was  a  well-known  character  for  many  years.  He  was  one  of  the  pioneers  in 
Antwerp  and  his  log  hostelry  was  well  known  throughout  the  country.  The 
frugal  fare  of  the  day  and  a  bottle  of  whiskey  were  the  chief  elements  in  the 
entertainment  of  the  stage-coach  passengers  or  the  foot-travelers  who  stopped 
at  these  wayside  inns.    One  day  a  traveler  put  up  with  the  hospitable  old  land- 


144  Abbe- Abbey  Genealogy 

lord,  and,  as  he  went  in,  told  him  he  had  no  money,  but  would  pay  him  some 
day.  The  old  gentleman  replied:  "Stay?  Of  course  you  can  stay,  and  pay  me 
when  you  can.  I've  had  lots  of  customers,  but  never  turned  one  away."  Some 
time  later,  the  traveler  called,  and,  as  he  offered  the  money  due  Mr.  Abbey  on 
the  old  score,  said,  * '  Do  you  remember  me  ?  I  stopped  here  and  could  not  pay. ' ' 
''I  don't  remember,"  said  Mr.  Abbey,  "but  lots  of  folks  have  done  that  thing 
here.  Maybe  you  did.  You  can  pay  what  you  please."  On  receiving  the 
money,  the  old  innkeeper  exclaimed:  "Hurrah  for  an  honest  man.  Such  a 
thing  has  never  happened  to  me  since  I've  kept  tavern.  I've  trusted  hundreds 
of  people  for  their  fare,  and  that  has  been  the  end  of  the  matter.  If  there 
was  a  newspaper  published  anywhere  in  these  parts,  I'd  put  this  in  sure." 

There  was  a  settlement  of  "Buckeyes"  or  Wesleyan  Methodists  in  Antwerp 
district.  Jesse  Abbey  had  joined  this  sect,  and  was  considered  a  kind  of 
patriarchal  chief  among  them.  His  hair  was  gray,  long,  and  thin.  He  wore 
a  straw  hat  winter  and  summer,  and  usually,  in  meeting,  seated  himself  by 
the  side  of  the  minister,  his  straw  hat  on  his  head;  and  if  anything  in  the 
sermon  pleased  him,  he  would  exclaim:  "Good,  that's  right;  ha,  ha,"  clapping 
his  hands  in  exultant  emotion.  Other  leaders  in  the  church  were  Father  Libby 
and  Johnny  Johnson.  There  was  a  strife  between  them  and  Father  Abbey  as 
to  who  could  talk  or  exhort  the  best  in  meeting. 

Johnny  Johnson  could  not  write,  and  used  to  get  his  friends  to  write  letters 
for  him.  On  one  occasion,  after  the  letter  was  written,  directed,  and  sealed, 
Johnson  started  home  but  returned  in  a  short  time,  sajdng  there  was  something 
he  forgot  to  put  in  the  letter.  The  writer  protested  against  opening  it  as  it 
was  folded  into  envelope  shape  and  sealed,  but  Johnson  said  it  was  very 
important  and  must  be  added  to  the  letter.  So  the  seal  was  broken  and  this 
sentence  added:  "Tell  them  that  it  is  nick-el-ty  tuckey  with  Father  Abbey 
and  me  as  to  who  can  talk  the  best  in  meetin'."  This  important  message  was 
added  to  the  letter,  it  was  refolded,  and  sent  to  the  friends  in  Ohio. 

The  1850  Census  records  him  as  a  farmer  of  Antwerp.  In  1845  he  sent  to 
school  an   "adopted  son,"   Ben  Wait.

with  his  family,  crossing  the  Mississippi  on  the  ice  in  February.  He  finally 
settled  upon  land  in  Mount  Vernon,  Linn  County,  Iowa,  then  a  wild  prairie 
with  no  white  inhabitants.  There  were  several  hundred  Winnebago  Indians 
living  in  that  vicinity.  Mr.  Abbe  was  always  friendly  with  them.  In  the  season 
of  maple  sugar  making  there  would  often  be  as  many  as  five  hundred  Indians 
camped  around  his  door-yard.  Mr.  Abbe  had  a  fine  lot  of  maples  and  allowed 
the  Indians  to  tap  the  trees,  reserving  what  he  needed  for  his  own  use.  This 
reservation  was  never  encroached  upon. 

Mr.  Abbe  was  elected  Justice  of  the  Peace  in  the  new  settlement;  acted  as 
sheriff  and  his  house  was  used  to  hold  criminals  until  the  first  county  jail  was 
built.  He  was  elected  to  the  Legislature  and  served  two  terras.  In  1849  he 
went  with  a  party  to  the  California  gold  fields.  He  returned  in  1851,  by  way 
of  Cape  Horn;  was  shipwrecked  and  lost  nearly  all  he  had;  but  the  following 
year  found  him  again  on  his  way  to  the  gold  fields,  going  by  way  of  Panama 
and  taking  his  oldest  son,  Andrew.  They  went  to  San  Benito,  Calif.,  and  engaged 
in  ranching  and  cattle-raising.  He  died  while  on  a  business  trip  to  Sacramento. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  Masonic  order  and  had  much  to  do  with  the  early 
history  of  Linn  County.

voyage  to  California,  through  the  canals  and  down  the  St.  Lawrence  River  to 
Quebec,  then  down  the  Gulf  of  St.  Lawrence  to  the  Atlantic  Ocean.  When  they 
arrived  at  Cape  Horn  they  were  obliged  to  ''double"  it,  owing  to  the  dense 
fog  prevailing,  instead  of  the  shorter  route  through  the  Straits  of  Magellan.

home  on  tlie  "Republic"  bound  for  Panama.  In  mid-ocean  she  sprang  a  leak, 
was  kept  afloat  by  hard  pumping  and  ran  ashore  at  Acapulco  Bay,  where  she 
sank  soon  after  the  passengers  had  been  removed.  Crossing  the  Isthmus  the 
party  sailed  for  New  York  and  thence  home  by  rail  after  an  absence  of  about 
three  j^ears.

326.  SARAH«  (or  SALLY)  ABBEY,  daughter  of  Jonathan^  Abbey,  3d,  and 
Mrs.  Lucy  (Knox)  Robbins,  born  August  1,  1784,  in  Ashford,  Conn.;  recorded 
there;  died  in  Mason ville,  N.  Y.,  1829.  Most  of  her  married  life  was  spent 
in  or  near  Guilford,  N.  Y.,  but  in  her  last  years  she  removed  to  Masonville. 
There  are  extant  several  of  her  letters  to  her  children,  now  in  the  possession 
of  Mrs.  Dora  Walker,  Mrs.  Josiah  Still  and  Mr.  Edwin  W.  Burch.  They  are 
wonderful  letters  in  point  of  the  extreme  poverty  that  seems  to  have  been  her 
lot,  and  5^et  the  fortitude  and  Christian  hope  in  which  she  lived  are  no  less 
wonderful.  Some  of  her  older  children  had  gone  out  to  Chautauqua  County, 
a  son  had  established  himself  there  and  some  of  his  sisters  had  gone  out  there 
to  work  in  the  families  of  former  neighbors  who  had  moved  to  near  Westfield. 

Married  JOHN  BROWN.  He  died  in  1827  or  1828.  A  family  tradition  says 
he  was  lost  at  sea.

perhaps  lives  in  Buffalo.

581  Nancy  L.  Brown,  b.  Aug.  25,  1822 ;    m.  Ezra  Westcott. 

Newman  Alheij  Brown,  b.  1824;  d.  in  California  about  1900;  m.  Eliza  A.  Whitman. 
Children  :  Three  who  d.  young  and  a  fourth,  b.  and  d.  on  the  voyage  from  New 
York  to  California,  around  Cape  Horn. 

He  possessed  unusual  ability  as  a  salesman  and  was  the  owner  of  two  very 
successful  stores,  one  in  Madison  and  one  in  Boscobel,  Wis.  Trips  to  buy  goods 
in  these  early  days  required  a  long  time,  and  once  when  in  New  York  City,  where 
he  had  gone  to  purchase  goods,  he  chanced  to  consult  a  fortune  teller,  who  used 
cards.  After  shuffling  the  cards  she  told  him  there  had  been  or  was  to  be  a  death 
in  his  family.  Shuffling  them  a  second  time  she  told  him  the  same  thing.  After 
shuffling  the  third  time,  she  said  nothing  but  the  expression  on  her  face  frightened 
him,  and  he  entered  upon  the  journey  back  to  Wisconsin  as  soon  as  possible. 
Upon  his  arrival  he  learned  that  one  of  his  children  had  died  on  a  certain  Wednes- 
day and  was  buried  the  following  Friday ;  a  second  child  had  died  on  the  following 
Wednesday  and  had  been  buried  the  Friday  following ;  the  third  child  had  died 
shortly  before  his  arrival  and  was  ready  for  burial. 

This  experience  shortly  thereafter  affected  his  mind  so  that  his  business  could  not 
be  properly  carried  on  and  he  lost  both  stores.  After  a  time,  with  the  approval  of 
his  faithful  wife,  he  decided  to  go  to  California  and  take  up  life  anew.  They 
sailed  from  New  York  Harbor  around  Cape  Horn.  There  was  born  to  them  on 
the  journey  another  child,  but  it  died  almost  at  birth  and  was  buried  at  sea. 
Arriving  in  California,  the  change,  for  a  time,  seemed  to  be  beneficial  to  him. 
With  his  limited  capital  he  would  buy  the  entire  outfit  of  city  trucksters,  and,  with 
his  native  ability  to  sell  things,  would  retail  it  always  at  a  profit.  But  as  time 
went  on,  he  consulted  mediums  and  various  kinds  of  fortune  tellers  who  relieved 
him  of  much  of  his  scanty  means.  After  quite  a  long  time  he  became  unable  to 
provide  for  his  vsafe  and  she  was  obliged  to  return  to  her  own  family  in  the  east. 
His  latest  years  were  passed  with  his  mind  entirely  unbalanced. 


327.  JOHN"  ABBEY,  son  of  Jonathan^  Abbey  and  Mrs.  Lucy  (Knox)  Rob- 
bins,  born  November  IS,  1789,  in  Ashford,  Conn.;  died  October  5,  1841,  at 
the  home  of  his  son,  Stephen,  in  Rondout,  N.  Y.  He  was  living  near  Rockdale 
on  the  Unadilla  River  about  1822.  He  had  a  first-rate  team  that  was  admired 
by  everyone  who  saw  it.  Knowing  about  this  team,  the  two  Assemblymen  of 
the  vicinity  engaged  Mr.  Abbey  to  take  them  from  Unadilla  to  Albany,  a 
distance  of  a  hundred  miles.  On  the  day  appointed  Mr.  Abbey  met  them  at 
the  village  inn.  When  the  hostler  brought  the  team  around  to  the  door,  and 
the  party  came  out  to  start  on  their  journey,  the  Assemblymen  complained  to 
Mr.  Abbey  about  the  general  appearance  of  the  turn-out.  They  said  that  the 
horses  were  fine,  but  the  sleigh  was  a  miserable,  old-fashioned  affair,  and  the 
harness  was  worse.  "Well,  gentlemen,"  said  Mr.  Abbey,  "I  am  much  mistaken 
if  you  are  more  ashamed  of  me  along  the  road  than  I  shall  be  of  you  when 
you  get  to  Albany." 

Dominie  Mason  of  Rondout  liked  a  fine  horse,  and,  knowing  that  John  Abbey 
did  too,  drove  up  where  he  was  standing  one  day,  and  said,  ''There,  Mr.  Abbey, 
what  do  you  think  of  my  horse?"  "I  think,"  said  Mr.  Abbey,  "that  he  is 
in  strong  contrast  with  the  one  your  Master  rode  into  Jerusalem  on."

Sixth  Generation  187 

ber  10,  1838,  for  his  activities  iia  the  Patriots'  War.  He  was  a  printer  by  trade, 
lived  in  Albany,  N.  Y.,  and  later  in  Watertown  and  Oswego,  at  the  time  of  his 
death  was  a  resident  of  Panielia,  Jefferson  County.  In  1815  a  monthly  news- 
paper called  "The  Friend"  was  i)ublished  by  Dorrephus  Abbey  and  his  brother, 
Seth  Alden  Abbey,  in  Albany.  Dorrephus  Abbey  was  an  early  publisher  of  the 
Binghamton  Republican  Herald  before  1822.  In  1817  he  was  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  Jefferson  and  Lewis  Gazette  at  Watertown  and  in  1819  was 
instrumental  in  founding  the  Oswego  Palladium  at  Oswego.  He  took  an  active 
part  in  the  scheme  in  1837  for  freeing  Canada  from  the  English  Government, 
known  as  the  Patriots'  War.  Jefferson  County  was  the  scene  of  intense 
excitement  at  the  time  and  "Hunter  Lodges"  were  formed  in  every  village 
to  promote  the  Patriot  cause.  The  real  promotors  of  the  scheme  were  too 
cowardly  to  take  an  active  part  in  the  expeditions  and  the  punishment  fell 
upon  those  who  were  conscientious  in  assisting  what  they  believed  to  be  a 
worthj^  cause. 

There  were  some  serious  engagements  between  the  troops  or  militia  and  the 
insurgents,  and  of  these  the  most  severe  took  place  at  Prescott,  where  the  rebels 
had  taken  refuge  in  a  stone  wind-mill,  from  which  they  were  ultimately  driven 
by  fire  being  set  to  the  combustible  matter  in  the  lower  part  of  the  building. 
Many  Americans  who  sympathized  with  the  insurgents  took  part  in  the  battle. 
An  ej'e-witness  stated  that  he  counted  110  dead  bodies  on  the  snow,  on  the 
morning  after  the  battle.  Four  of  the  officers  of  the  expedition  were  captured, 
court-martialed  and  sentenced  to  be  hung.  Colonel  Abbey  is  said  to  have  met 
his  death  with  great  fortitude  and  the  papers  of  the  day  reveal  nothing  but 
respect  for  his  character  and  regret  that  his  life  should  have  been  a  sacrifice 
to  an  unfortunate  cause. 

The   following  letters   written  to  his   son  and   daughters   on   the   eve  of  his 

execution  have  fortunately  been  preserved: 

Fort  Henry  November  28,  1838. 
My  dear  son : 

I  this  moment  received  your  letter  by  the  hands  of  the  sheriff.  I  am  in  want  of  nothing 
but  what  my  friends  at  Watertown  have  already  provided.  Tell  your  dear  sisters  that 
one  or  both  of  them  had  better  go  to  Oswego.    As  for  yourself,  take  good  counsel 

Whatever  may  be  my  fate,  yon  must  exercise  firmness  and  resignation  commensurate 
to  the  trial ;  we  must  sooner  or  later  part ;  it  is  of  no  great  moment  when  and  in  what 
manner  I  take  my  exit.  If  my  life  is  sacrificed,  I  have  the  approbation  of  an  approving 
conscience,  having  been  governed  by  integrity  of  purpose.  Great  delusion  has,  however, 
been  entertained  in  relation  to  public  opinion  in  Canada.  They  are  not  prepared  for 
republican  institutions.    All  governments  should  conform  to  the  genius  of  the  people. 

Your  affectionate  father, 

Dorrephus  Abbey. 

Mr.  Abbey  to  his  son : 

Fort  Henry,  Tuesday  night,  Dec.  11,  1838. 

Arm  yourself  my  dear  boy  with  fortitude,  to  hear  the  sad  intelligence,  that  ere  these 
lines  meet  your  eye,  I  am  numbered  with  the  dead.  My  zeal  in  the  cause  of  universal 
freedom  has  eventually  cost  me  my  life.  But  let  it  be  remembered,  that  the  unfortunate 
expedition  I  was  engaged  in,  took  a  direction  contrary  to  my  views ;  but  in  this  affair 
you  can  take  no  interest  at  present,  or  at  any  other  time  further  than  my  reputation  is 
concerned  ;  time  will  develope  facts,  when  my  conduct  and  intentions  will  be  known  and 
appreciated. 

When  our  condition  became  hopeless,  I  could  then  have  taken  opportunity  to  have  made 
my  escape  across  the  line,  but  I  could  not  bear  the  thoughts  of  deserting  those  brave, 
and  many  of  them,  worthy  and  amiable  young  men  to  destruction ;  life,  thus  preserved, 
would  not  be  worth  possessing. 

In  relation  to  my  pecuniary  affairs,  you  must  be  frequently  with  and  advise  with  my 
friends'  counsel,  and  also  with  Mr.  Wiley,  and  if  it  should  be  necessary  to  sell  any  of 
my  real  estate,  let  the  village  property  be  sold  if  possible. 

As  regards  yourself,  cultivate  your  mind,  associate  with  honorable  men,  aim  high  and 
let  all  your  motives  be  of  an  exalted  character ;  and  now,  my  beloved  son,  I  bid  you 
adieu  for  ever.

To  his  daughters: 

December  11,  1838. 

My  dear  Daughters : 

Many  severe  trials  have  awaited  you  from  your  earhest  chihlhood,  but  that  which  you 
have  now  to  endure,  will  require  all  your  firmness ;  you  are  now  left  without  a  parent. 
Tomorrow  morning  closes  my  earthly  seenes.  You  have  to  bear  up  under  the  most 
tremendous  ordeal  that  the  mind  of  female  sensibihty  ever  endured.  But  I  have  the 
consolation  to  beheve,  that  your  fortitude  is  equal  to  every  contingency  and  event  of 
human  Ufe ;  without  the  exercise  of  such  sentiments,  existence  would  scarcely  be  a 
blessing.  I  leave  you  now  orphans  under  the  protection,  I  trust,  of  my  relations  and 
personal  friends.  I  particularly  commend  you  to  a  great  friend  of  your  mother,  Mrs. 
Woodruff.  Mr.  Wiley  wiU  no  doubt  take  much  interest  in  your  welfare.  I  write  from 
a  gloomy  cell,  lying  upon  a  bed  of  straw;  the  guard  will  soon  call  for  the  light,  and 
I  must  close.  Since  my  sentence,  I  could  not  procure  materials  for  writing,  till  this  late 
hour  of  my  existence,  which  have  just  been  furnished  me  by  an  officer  of  the  garrison, 
by  direction  of  the  sheriff.  Present  me  kindly  to  kindred  and  friends.  I  cannot  dis- 
criminate ;   so  farewell,  my  dear  children. 

Your  affectionate  father, 

Dorrephus  Abbey. 
To  AmeUa  Augusta  and  Arabella  Abbey. 

I  slept  soundly  and  quietly  last  night;  I  now  feel  as  though  I  could  meet  the  event 
with  composure.    The  guard  has  not  yet  called.

Westminster^  Abbey  and  his  father  before  him  have  kept  shop  on  Front  Street  since 
the  oldest  mariner  who  guides  his  ship  into  New  York  harbor  can  remember. 

For  over  eighty  years,  says  the  New  York  Mail,  the  "Westminster  Abbey"  sign  has 
blistered  in  sunshine  and  flapped  in  storm.  On  all  sides  of  the  shop  sit,  lean  and  tumble, 
the  most  remarkable  assortment  of  wares  ever  assembled  on  laud  or  sea. 

There  is  everything  from  a  paper  of  needles  to  a  sheet  anchor.  Overalls,  bisque  orna- 
ments, andirons,  neckties,  silver  pitchers,  writing  paper,  army  blankets,  Roman  swords, 
pearl  brooches,  paintings,  camping  outfits,  opera  glasses,  bottles  with  ships  in  them, 
teething  rings,  prayer  books,  oilskins,  jewelry,  cannon  balls,  muskets  and  cold  cream. 

"I'm  looking  for  Mr.  Abbey." 

"I'm  Westminstei',"  said  a  man  with  a  grizzled  gray  mustache,  merry  brown  eyes  and 
a  crippled  foot,  looking  up  from  a  cluttered  desk.     "Come  right  in  and  look  around." 

"But  I  came  to  ask  about  that  offer  of  Coney  Island  for  $500." 

Westminster  chuckled.  "Ho,  ho !  WeU,  it  was  a  fact  all  right.  Fifty-nine  years  ago," 
he  went  on,  making  some  subtractions  on  the  back  of  an  envelope,  "my  dad  was  asked 
to  buy  the  whole  of  Coney  for  $500.  The  very  spot  where  the  frankfurtei's  are  sizzling 
and  the  whirligigs  are  spinning  and  the  bathhouse  sharks  are  holding  folks  up  and  the 
sandgrabbers  are  charging  real  money  for  a  look  at  the  ocean  ! 

"Father  couldn't  see  any  use  buying  a  wind-swept,  snipe-breeding  sandy  waste  like 
that !  Nobody  went  down  there  except  to  shoot  birds  once  in  a  while.  New  York  had 
less  than  500,000  people  in  it. 

"There  wasn't  any  immigration  to  speak  of.  Nobody  dreamed  the  town  would  grow 
to  millions  of  population.    And  nobody  wanted  Coney  THEN!" 

The  purchase  of  Coney  was  not  the  only  wealth-weighted  suggestion  that  was  given 
gratis  to  the  Westminster  Abbey  family. 


Sixth  Generation  191 

The  grandfather  of  the  present  Westminster  lived  with  his  good  wife  up  in  Putnam 
County.  Wife  was  an  excellent  woman,  but  fussy  about  her  housekeeping.  When  a 
certain  poor  fur  trader  used  to  drop  into  the  Abbey  farmhouse,  Gran'ma  would  call  out: 
"Is  that  that  man  Astor  again?  If  he  stays  here,  he'll  have  to  take  his  meals  in  the 
outhouse  and  sleep  in  the  barn."  And  John  Jacob  Astor,  trapper  and  trader,  had  to 
abide  by  Ma  Abbey's  decision. 

He  took  it  in  good  part,  however,  quite  understandingly,  and  often  told  Grandfather 
Abbey  that  if  he'd  sell  out  his  holdings  in  upstate  land  and  buy  lots  in  the  little  growing 
town  of  New  York,  he'd  be  glad  of  it  some  day.

427.  SAMUEL"  ABBEY,  probably  son  of  Benjamin*'  and  Elizabeth  (Knappin) 
Abbey.  It  seems  likely  that  the  following  records  refer  to  him.  One  Samuel 
Abbey  boiTght  property  in  Aurelius,  Cajoiga  County,  N.  Y.,  in  1834.  That  may 
have  been  a  son  of  this  Samuel.  It  is  said  by  some  of  the  descendants  that  he 
had  brothers,  Sherbel,  Harry,  and  Jerry.

456.  AMOS'  ABBEE,  sou  of  Abncr«  and  Sarah  (Swetland)  Abbe,  born 
November  2,  1783,  in  Longmeadow,  Mass.;  died  June  22,  1835,  in  Brownville, 
Maine.  By  his  father's  will  he  inherited  all  of  his  father's  property  in  Granby 
except  the  widow's  third.  When  his  mother  married  again,  he  bought  her 
share  of  the  farm.  In  1825  he  decided  to  move  to  Maine  and  with  three  horses 
and  a  large  wagon,  containing  all  their  belongings  and  six  boys  and  four  girls 
on  board,  they  started  March  17,  1825.  When  they  reached  Norridgework, 
Maine,  after  being  on  the  road  seventeen  days,  he  hired  a  farm  of  Joseph 
Oilman.  The  next  year  they  moved  on  to  Brownville,  Maine,  where  he  bought 
50  acres  of  wild  land  and  commenced  to  subdixe  it.  Here  they  remained  until 
his  death  in  1835.  The  farm  is  still  owned  by  his  grandson,  Otis  J.  Abbee,  now 
enlarged  to  300  acres.  The  records  of  this  branch  of  the  family  were  gathered 
by  the  painstaking  efforts  of  Mr.  Charles  T.  Hendrick,  who  carried  on  an  exten- 
siv^e  correspondence  for  the  purpose.  The  spelling  of  the  name  now  used  is 
Abbee. 

Amos  Abbee  married  in  1804,  PATTY  (or  MARTHA)  ABBE,  who  died  May 
28,  1844,  in  Brownville,  Maine.  She  was  his  second  cousin.  She  was  a  large, 
spare  woman,  and  her  children  took  after  her,  for  most  of  them  were  much 
above  the  average  in  size.  She  had  some  brothers  who  were  very  large  men. 
Her  brother  Nathan  was  6  ft.  7  in.  tall  and  weighed  250  lbs.  Her  father  was 
6  ft.  2  in.  tall  and  weighed  240  lbs.    They  were  very  strong,  powerful  men.

479.  GEORGE  WALDO'  ABBE,  sou  of  Moses  Cleveland'^  and  Talitha 
(Waldo)  Abbe,  born  in  Ashford,  "Windham  County,  Conn.,  October  20,  1811; 
died  at  his  residence,  32  East  20th  Street,  New  York  City,  September  25,  1879. 
He  lived  in  or  near  Windham  until  his  fourteenth  year,  when  he  went  to  New 
York  City  and  entered  the  employ  of  his  cousin,  Giles  Taintor,  a  prosperous 
dry-goods  merchant,  and  resided  in  the  family  of  his  uncle,  George  Abbe,  who 
was  at  that  time  at  the  head  of  the  Union  Transportation  Company,  and  subse- 
qucnth',  w^itli  the  family  of  another  uncle,  Samuel  Waldo,  the  portrait  painter. 

About  1835  he  engaged  independently  in  the  dry-goods  business  iinder  the 
name  of  Williams,  Camp  and  Abbe.  After  the  crisis  of  1857-8,  Mr.  Abbe  and 
his  firm  settled  honorably  with  their  creditors  and  later  paid  all  claims  in 
full,  but  thereafter  he  was  engaged  as  a  commission  merchant  and  broker  for 
the  remainder  of  his  life. 

He  was  especially  prominent  in  a  nmnber  of  charitable  organizations.  For 
forty  years  he  was  an  officer  in  the  New  York  Association  for  Improving  the 
Condition  of  the  Poor.  He  was  one  of  the  managers  of  the  Hospital  for  the 
Relief  of  the  Ruptured  and  Crippled,  and  was  one  of  the  governors  of  the 
New  York  Hospital.  He  took  an  active  interest  in  educational  matters  and 
at  the  time  of  his  death  was  an  Inspector  of  Public  Schools  for  the  Eighteenth 
Ward. 

Mr.  Abbe  was  a  prominent  worker  among  the  Baptists,  was  a  deacon  at  the 
Madison  Avenue  Baptist  Church,  vice-president  of  Madison  University  (Baptist), 
and  one  of  the  founders  of  tlie  American  Bible  Union.  His  whole  life  was 
silent  in  active  work  among  the  poor  in  the  hospitals  and  in  the  chui'ch.  He 
was  a  strong  abolitionist,  and  when  the  war  broke  oiit,  not  only  oi:)posed  seces- 
sion, but  subscribed  liberally  for  the  outfit  of  our  soldiers. 

Married  in  New  York  City,  January  19,  1837,  CHARLOTTE  COLGATE,  born 
in  New  York  City,  March  23,  1817;  died  in  New  York  City,  February  19,  1885; 
buried  with  her  husband,  in  Greenwood  Cemetery,  Brooklyn.  She  was  the 
daughter  of  Bowles  and  Lourina  (Townsend)  Colgate.  Bowles  Colgate  was  born 
in  Slioreham,  Kent,  England,  son  of  Robert  and  Sarah  (Bowles)  Colgate  (who 
were  married  in  Kent  about  1740),  and  with  his  brother,  William,  founded 
the  firm  of  the  Colgate  Soap  Companj^  in  1806.  Robert  and  Sarah  (Bowles) 
Colgate  were  leaders  among  the  Baptists  and  dissenters,  and  were  from  families 
that  had  been  with  the  Pilgrims  at  Leyden  in  1610-20.  Robert  died  about 
1805  and  his  wife  about  1845.  Both  were  noted  for  strong  characteristics  that 
marked  the  children,  notably  the  eldest  daughter,  Maria,  and  the  eldest  son, 
William.  Among  their  grandchildren,  perhaps  the  oldest  son  of  William,  James 
Bronson  Colgate,  and  Charlotte,  daughter  of  Bowles,  preserved  most  perfectly 
the  family  peculiarities  and  traits  that  had  persisted  unchanged  for  three  or 
four  centuries;  nor  were  these  changed  to  any  important  extent  during  the 
succeeding  generations.  Charlotte  Colgate  was  one  of  the  early  pupils  of  Mrs. 
Greene's  school  in  New  York  City,  a  school  that  recently  celebrated  its  centen- 
nial of  prosperity  and  wide  influence.  Lourina  Townsend  was  the  daughter 
of  Gilbert  and  Abigail  (Mead)  Townsend  and  the  granddaughter  of  John  and 
Jemima  (Travis)  Townsend  of  Dutchess  County,  N.  Y.

November  24,  1840,  in  Ridgeville,  Ohio;  died  in  Elyi-ia,  Ohio,  October  15,  1909. 
He  had  a  common  school  education  and  entered  the  first  year  of  High  School. 
At  the  age  of  twenty-two,  he  enlisted,  September  27,  1862,  in  Company  B, 
128th  Regiment,  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry,  and  served  most  of  his  time  for 
three  years  in  the  bakery  at  Johnson's  Island.  During  the  time  he  made  two 
trips  down  the  Mississippi  with  prisoners.  He  was  honorably  discharged  June 
9,  1865.  At  the  close  of  the  war,  Horace  Abbe,  with  his  brothers,  Norman, 
George,  and  John,  invested  their  earnings  in  three  sections  of  Michigan  timber, 
and  at  the  same  time  took  charge  of  their  father's  farm  of  300  acres  east  of 
Elyria.  After  about  two  years  they  dissolved  partnership  and  Horace  and 
Norman  located  on  the  old  homestead.  In  1873  they  bought  the  adjoining  farai 
which  was  the  original  location  of  Thomas  Aston,  Mrs.  Horace  Abbe's  father. 
These  farms  were  managed  by  them  until  the  death  of  Norman,  when  the 
property  was  sold  and  Horace  moved  to  El^n^ia.  In  1879  Mr.  Abbe  made  a  trip 
to  England  to  import  Hereford  cattle  and  Cotswold  sheep  and  they  were  known 
over  the  United  States  for  many  years  as  breeders  of  these  varieties.  The 
two  brothers  were  so  closely  associated  in  business  and  other  ways  that  the 
death  of  Norman  was  a  serious  loss  to  Horace  and  his  health  failed  rapidly, 
with  accompanying  depression  of  spirits.  He  ended  his  life  during  a  period 
of  depression.     He  and  his  family  are  members  of  the  Episcopal  Church.

crossed  from  Monmouthshire,  England,  with  her  family  in  a  sail  boat, — a 
voyage  of  seven  weeks  and  three  days.  Mr.  Aston  had  a  portion  of  the  boat 
partitioned  off  for  their  special  use  and  brought  with  him  seven  head  of 
Hereford  cattle  and  fourteen  sheep,  besides  two  tons  of  luggage.

298  Abbe- Abbey  Genealogy 

February  23,  1897,  at  Falconer,  N.  Y.  She  was  a  woman  of  more  than  ordinary 
ability  and  took  a  j^rominent  part  in  church  and  social  affairs.  She  was 
founder  and  first  president  of  the  Pine  Hill  Cemetery  Association  of  Falconer 
and  on  each  recurring  Memorial  Day  her  grave  is  specially  decorated. 

Married  at  Ellington,  N.  Y.,  1844,  EPHRAIM  MOSHER,  born  May  8,  1802, 
in  Oppenheim,  Fulton  Countj^,  N,  Y.,  son  of  Peter  and  Mary  (Rarrick)  Mosher; 
died  January  15,  1875.  He  was  a  descendant  of  Ensign  Hugh  Mosher,  who 
settled  in  Salem  about  1636;  was  a  friend  of  Roger  Williams  and  followed  him 
to  Rhode  Island,  settling  in  Westerly.  Ephraim  Mosher  was  one  of  the  fore- 
men of  a  pioneer  construction  gang  on  the  Erie  Canal  between  St.  Johnsville 
and  Buffalo,  and  later  steered  the  first  canal  boat  between  Lockport  and 
Brockport.  It  was  upon  his  suggestion  that  Governor  Clinton  decided  upon  the 
plan  of  having  a  row  of  cannon  placed  within  "hearing  distance"  apart 
across  the  state,  between  New  York  and  Buffalo,  to  flash  the  news  of  the  com- 
pletion of  the  great  enterj^rise.  Mosher  accompanied  Governor  Clinton's  his- 
toric boat,  departing  from  Buffalo  at  10  A.  M.,  the  morning  of  October  26, 
1825,  leaving  the  boat  at  Little  Falls,  whence  he  returned  the  same  day  with 
a  cargo  of  household  goods,  the  first  boat-load  of  merchandise  to  reach  Buffalo 
from  the  eastern  part  of  the  state  over  the  canal.  The  story  goes  that  this 
first  boat-load  of  household  goods  went  to  Chautauqua  County,  where  Mosher 
settled  near  Worksburg. 

He  married  (1)  Maria  Helmick,  who  was  the  mother  of  four  children:  Cath- 
erine, Margaret,  Ephraim,  and  Ezra.

610.  HENRY  GILBERT"  ABBEY,  son  of  Seth  Alden^  and  Mercy  (Hunt) 
Abbey,  born  in  Watertown,  N.  Y.,  November  20,  1821;  died  in  Cleveland,  Ohio, 
June  18,  1887.     He  studied  law  and  became  a  practicing  P:ttorney. 

Ui^on  the  death  of  the  father  of  the  late  Leonard  Case,  founder  of  the  Case 
School  of  Applied  Science  in  Cleveland,  Mr.  Case  found  it  necessary  to  call 
to  his  assistance  Mr.  Abbey  as  his  general  manager  and  confidential  agent. 
The  Case  estate  was  of  such  a  varied  character  that  it  demanded  negotiations 
with  all  kinds  of  men  and  corporations  and  it  required  a  verj^  high  order  of 
administrative  ability  in  its  confidential  agent.  The  publication  of  the  Western 
Reserve  and  Northern  Ohio  Historical  Society  speaks  in  words  of  praise  for 
Mr.  Abbey's  association  with  the  work: 

Mr.  Abbey  relieved  Mr.  Case  of  all  business  cares  and  was  most  eminently  qualified  for 
the  duties  which  he  had  been  called  to  undertake.  He  had  lived  in  Cleveland  from  his 
infancy  and  united  great  strength  of  mind  to  a  thorough  study  of  the  law,  long  experience 
in  business,  knowledge  of  the  world  and  cultivated  taste  in  literature. 

He  had  been  a  practicing  lawyer  in  Milwaukee,  clerk  of  Wisconsin  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives, a  pioneer  for  gold  in  1849  in  California ;  he  had  "rocked  the  cradle"  on  the 
sands  of  the  Sacramento  and  Klamath  Rivers,  and  had  brought  back  to  Cleveland  the 
net  results — some  gold  dust  and  a  full  stock  of  experience.  He  had  settled  down  to  sober 
hard  work  in  his  profession,  had  been  much  trusted  as  a  master  commissioner,  referee 
and  administrator  of  estates,  and  was  a  thoroughly  equipped  and  able  coadjutor  of  aU 
the  projects  and  purposes  of  Mr.  Case  in  relation  to  the  property,  and  all  other  matters 
requiring  counsel,  labor  and  management."

611.  EDWIN  ALDEN'  ABBEY,  son  of  Seth  Alden«  and  Mercy  (Hunt) 
Abbey,  born  in  Watertown,  N.  Y.,  December  9,  1823;  died  at  Corvallis,  Ore., 
January  15,  1893;  buried  in  Newton  Cemetery.  In  1832  with  his  parents  he 
removed  to  Cleveland,  Ohio,  where  he  resided  until  1844,  when  he  went  south 
and  was  employed  on  the  Mississippi  River.  In  the  month  of  September,  1846, 
he  sailed  from  Ncw^  Orleans  to  Mexico,  being  attached  to  the  quartermaster's 
department  in  the  divisions  of  Generals  Wool  and  Taylor.  Having  served  until 
near  the  close  of  the  war,  he  accompanied  Collins  to  Chihuahua,  with  despatches 
to  General  Price  to  evacuate  that  portion  of  the  countrj^,  which  duty  being 
performed,  he  rejoined  the  army  on  the  line  of  march  to  Santa  Fe,  and  was 
destined  to  accompany  Company  I,  First  Dragoons,  as  wagon  master.  He 
was  thus  engaged  witli  that  corps  until  1851.  Mr.  Abbey  then  went  overland, 
traveling  as  far  as  Fort  Laramie  w^ith  the  famous  Kit  Carson,  and  arrived  in 
Benton  County,  Oregon,  in  the  fall  of  that  year.  He  located  his  claim  about 
four  miles  from  what  was  then  Marysville,  now  Corvallis,  and  at  once  set  to 
farming.  In  1856,  with  two  companions,  Mr.  Abbey  made  the  pioneer  journey 
to  Yaquima  Bay,  on  his  part  a  trip  of  simple  pleasure  and  adventure.  There 
were  no  roads,  and  Phil  Sheridan,  then  a  Lieutenant,  was  having  his  men  cut 
a  trail  over  the  mountains  to  lead  from  the  reservation  to  civilization.  Mr. 
Abbey,  following  the  trails,  made  Yaquima  Bay  about  two  miles  from  its 
mouth.  At  that  time  there  was  not  a  single  resident  in  that  part  of  the 
country.  In  1862  he  took  up  his  residence  in  Corvallis,  remaining  there  for 
three  years.  He  then  took  up  a  large  tract  of  land  in  Yaquima,  near  Elk  City, 
about  twenty-two  miles  from  Newport,  which  he  still  owned  at  the  time  of  his 
death. 

One  of  his  nephews  writes,  ''Uncle  Edwin  never  returned  to  the  east  until 
1889.  He  was  a  most  delightful  character  and  I  recall  vividly  his  account  of 
a  night  ride  with  despatches  in  the  Mexican  War  in  the  moonlight,  many  times 
shot  at  but  never  hit.    He  met  his  wife  in  the  journey  across  the  plains. ' '

living  for  others,  friends  and  foes  alike.  Being  of  delicate  constitution  he 
removed  from  Elgin,  111.,  to  Sara  Sota,  Fla.,  and  was  ever  doing  all  that 
he  could  to  develop  the  resources  and  morality  of  that  region.  He  gave  no 
lorovoeation  to  anyone  whatever,  but  by  his  popularity  and  holding  the  offices 
of  postmaster  and  United  States  land  commissioner  and  being  a  northern 
man,  he  excited  the  jealousy  of  an  insensible  gang  of  Florida  terrorists  and 
was  shot  by  them  in  the  back  from  ambush.  His  brother  spent  some  time  in 
Sara  Sota  ferreting  out  the  murderers  and  had  them  brought  to  justice.

eight  years.  He  was  one  of  the  most  expert  anglers  in  the  country  and  a  mem- 
ber of  the  firm  of  Abbey  and  Imbrie,  dealers  in  fishing  tackle  at  No.  48  Maiden 
Lane,  New  York  City.  When  a  mere  lad  he  developed  a  fondness  for  fresh- 
water fishing.  For  some  years  he  was  traveling  salesman  for  a  notion  firm, 
resigning  to  become  a  clerk  in  the  firm  of  which  he  was  eventually  senior 
partner.  In  1875  the  firm  was  known  as  Abbey  and  Imbrie.  Mr.  Abbey  was 
the  inventor  of  one  of  the  best  trout  flies  in  use,  known  as  the  "Abbey  fly." 
During  the  latter  years  of  his  life  he  was  known  among  the  anglers  of  the 
country  as  a  remarkably  expert  manipulator  of  the  single-hand  fly  rod.  Mr. 
Abbey  and  C.  F.  Imbrie  were  joint  owners  of  a  fine  trout  preserve  on  Green's 
River  near  Sayville,  Long  Island,  where  he  fished  every  year  at  the  opening 
of  the  season  with  Joseph  Jefferson,  the  actor,  the  late  Recorder  Haekett, 
and  other  prominent  lovers  of  the  sport.  He  died  while  on  a  trip  to  Florida 
for  his  failing  health.

789.  EDWIN  AUSTINS  ABBEY,  son  of  William  Maxwell^  and  Margery 
Ann  (Kiple)  Abbey,  born  in  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  April  1,  1852;  died  in  England, 
July  31,  1911. 

Married  in  New  York  City,  April  22,  1890,  MARY  GERTRUDE  MEAD,  born 
in  Torquay,  Devonshire,  England,  March  15,  1851,  daughter  of  Frederick  and 
Mary  E.  (Scribner)  Mead.  She  was  graduated  from  Vassar  College  in  1870, 
studied  in  Berlin,  J881-2,  and  in  Paris,  1883-4.     They  had  no  children. 

The  following  is  for  the  most  part  made  up  from  a  most  appreciative  article  in 
the  Craftsman  of  October,  1911,  by  Louis  A.  Holman : 

Born  in  Philadelphia  eight  years  before  the  Civil  War  broke  out,  Abbey  was  in  school 
at  the  time  when  men's  thoughts  were  chiefly  on  the  great  struggle.  His  two  years'  art 
training  were  over  before  the  paralyzing  effect  of  war  had  passed.  He  was  in  a  very  real 
sense  a  self-made  man,  as  severe  a  critic  of  his  own  work  and  as  exacting  as  any  master 
could  have  been.  He,  however,  always  gave  the  credit  for  his  success  to  his  merchant 
grandfather,  a  man  of  fine  artistic  feeling,  who  like  Abbey's  own  father  spent  many  a 
day  at  his  easel.  A  friend  who  called  on  Abbey  while  he  was  at  work  on  the  coronation 
picture  has  recently  recalled  some  of  the  conversation. 

"Abbey,"  said  the  caller,  "it  is  a  great  work  and  a  great  chance ;  but  teU  me,  how  did 
you  get  it?" 

"Through  my  grandfather,"    said  Abbey. 

"I  see  by  the  papers  that  you  are  also  to  decorate  the  new  Capitol  of  Pennsylvania. 
Did  your  grandfather  get  that  commission  for  you  too?" 

And  Abbey  gravely  replied  :    "If  I  do  the  work  he  will  be  the  cause." 

There  is  a  photograph  of  Abbey  taken  when  he  was  eight  years  old.  With  dreamy 
unconsciousness  he  had  posed  himself  at  a  table,  not  with  a  toy  but  with  paper  and  pencil. 
When  he  was  but  fourteen,  it  is  said,  "Oliver  Optic's  Magazine  for  Boys  and  Girls" 
published  a  rebus  of  his  designing.  He  began  drawing  on  wood  for  a  wood  engraver  when 
he  was  sixteen.  A  sketch  called  "The  First  Thanksgiving"  submitted  to  Harper's 
Magazine  was  accepted.  This  triumph  eventually  resulted  in  1871  in  his  joining  the  stafE 
of  that  magazine.  In  the  July  Harper's  of  1871  there  is  a  poem  accompanied  by  a  number 
of  illustrations  done  by  several  of  the  staff.  Among  them  is  one  signed  by  Abbey.  In 
1873  he  was  Harper's  humorous  artist,  and  illustrated  the    "Editor's  Drawer." 

In  1878  he  went  to  England  to  make  the  Herrick  illustrations,  and,  except  for  short 
visits,  he  never  returned  to  America.  Englishmen  soon  forgot  that  this  genial,  brilliant 
man  was  a  foreigner,  possibly  because  he  was  supremely  happy  in  the  land  of  his  adoption. 
He  was  everywhere  held  in  high  favor,  and  honors  showered  upon  him.  He  became  one 
of  a  notable  group  of  American  artists  who  found  in  England  a  sympathetic  artistic 
environment.  Abbey  materially  aided  in  increasing  the  esteem  in  which  his  fellow 
countrymen  were  held.  There  is  a  story  that  once  he  tried  to  break  away  from  the 
witchery  of  the  picturesque  country  of  England,  but  after  his  household  goods  had  reached 
America  he  weakened  and  the  unpacking  was  not  done  until  they  got  back  to  England. 

At  Broadway  in  Worcestershire,  Abbey  found  friends  and  there  he  lingered,  gathering 
material  for  his  drawings.  A  friend  of  his  said  that  in  the  wonderful  garden  of  RusseU 
House,  the  home  of  Frank  Millet,  he  had  often  seen,  on  the  same  morning,  each  painting 
from  his  own  model.  Abbey,  Sargent,  Miller,  Alma-Tadema  and  Alfred  Parsons.  It  was 
at  hospitable  Russell  House  that  Abbey  first  met  Miss  Mary  Gertrude  Mead  of  New  York, 
who  later  became  his  wife.  Here,  too,  he  had  the  good  fortune  to  meet  Alfred  Parsons, 
and  Alfred  Parsons  had  the  still  better  fortune  to  meet  Abbey.  Then  and  there  began 
that  wonderful  collaboration,  the  result  of  which  for  many  a  year  charmed  the  artistic 
world. 

Successful,  from  every  point  of  view,  as  were  the  illustrations  for  Herrick,  and  Gold- 
smith, and  Shakespeare,  he  yet  longed  to  be  a  beginner  in  other  fields  of  art,  not  that  he

might  make  a  fortune  or  win  applause,  but  that  he  might  have  the  joy  of  wandering  in  a 
new  region.  He  bought  an  ancient  house  at  Fairford,  Gloucestershire,  some  fifty  miles 
south  of  Broadway.  Here  he  built  a  large  studio  and  entered  the  lists  as  a  painter  of 
English  romance  and  history. 

In  1891  he  began  the  famous  "Holy  Grail,"  a  series  for  the  Boston  Public  Library. 
Five  years  later  his  "Richard,  Duke  of  Gloucester  and  the  Lady  Anne"  won  him  his 
A.R.A.  In  two  more  years  he  became  a  full  Academician.  The  work,  however,  which 
brought  him  his  greatest  recognition  in  England  was  his  painting  of  the  coronation  of 
Edward  the  Seventh,  "by  command"  of  the  king.  In  the  State  Capitol  at  Harrisburg, 
Pa.,  are  eight  murals,  of  such  widely  different  character,  being  wholly  symbolic  subjects 
treated  in  a  modern  manner,  that  he  was  compelled  to  leave  the  well-worn  road  and  blaze 
out  a  new  one. 

He  had  essayed  work  in  one  province  after  another :  illustration ;  pen  and  wash 
drawings ;  paintings,  water  color,  pastel  and  oil ;  mural  decoration,  historic  and  symbolic. 
He  will  hold  his  place  as  one  of  America's  foremost  colorists,  as  one  of  her  rarest  drafts- 
men, as  the  most  poetic  painter  of  mediaeval  subjects  in  his  time,  and  as  the  greatest 
illustrator  that  America  has  yet  produced. 

Close  student  and  hard  worker  as  Abbey  proved  himself,  he  found  time  for  friends  and 
for  play.  There  probably  never  lived  an  American  artist  who  had  a  greater  host  of 
friends.  So  often  after  his  death  were  heard  the  words,  "Abbey  was  a  most  lovable  man." 
He  was  the  soul  of  generosity,  not  only  in  material  things,  but  in  his  sketches  and  draw- 
ings and  in  the  preparation  and  care  he  exercised  in  connection  with  his  mural  decora- 
tions. He  spent  much  more  than  his  compensation  on  models  and  costumes  and  research 
work  that  the  paintings  might  be  worthy  the  place  they  were  to  occupy. 

Artists  say  that  when  he  criticised  their  work  he  always  searched  for  something 
encouraging  to  say.  He  was  instinctively  refined,  with  a  manner  that  would  have  won 
him  his  way  into  palaces  even  if  he  had  started  life  as  a  hod-carrier.  He  never  considered 
himself  an  expatriate,  never  lost  his  American  accent  or  manner.  He  had  a  keen  love 
for  all  clean,  good  sport,  and  had  the  devotion  of  an  American  boy  for  baseball.  As  he 
could  not  in  England  bring  together  enough  men  to  play  this  game,  he  took  up  cricket 
as  a  substitute,  had  a  ground'  prepared  at  his  Gloucestershire  house,  and  himself  became 
president  of  the  club. 

Perhaps  there  was  nothing  about  him  that  made  such  a  universal  appeal  as  his  alert 
sense  of  humor.  His  nickname  in  the  old  New  York  days  was  "Chestnut,"  an  appellation 
derived  from  a  favorite  story  which  he  could  relate  in  a  most  inimitable  way.  The 
Chestnut  Story  was  one  of  those  interminable,  pointless,  humbug  narratives,  eternally 
getting  to  the  point  and  never  arriving  there ;  exciting  vast  interest  and  calculation  in 
regard  to  the  chestnuts  on  a  certain  tree ;  promising  a  rich  and  racy  solution  in  the 
very  next  sentence  ;  straying  off  into  episodes  that  baffled  the  ear  and  disappointed  the 
hope.  The  tale  could  be  prolonged  by  him  when  he  was  at  his  best  for  a  good  part  of  an 
hour,  without  ever  releasing  the  attention  or  satisfying  the  expectation.  English  literary 
men  began  to  use  the  title  in  their  writing  as  a  type  of  an  endless  or  unsatisfactory  yarn, 
and  the  word  Chestnut,  crossing  the  sea,  returned  again  to  the  land  of  its  birth  and 
became  the  accepted  definition  of  what  is  tedious,  old  and  interminable.

WELLINGTON  ABBEY,  son  of  Nathaniel  and  Mary  (Nugent)  Abbey,  born  in 
Port  Hope,  Ontario,  Canada,  April  22,  1840;  died  in  Fond  du  Lac,  Wis.,  Sep- 
tember 23,  1901.  As  his  father  died  when  he  was  but  a  child,  he  was  early 
thrown  iipon  his  OAvn  resources  and  from  the  time  lie  was  fifteen  he  was  depend- 
ent on  his  own  efforts.  While  his  early  education  was  limited,  lie  became  a 
well-informed  man  due  to  his  retentive  memory  and  his  constant  habits  of  study. 
In  his  home  were  always  found  the  leading  papers  and  periodicals  and  a  well- 
equipped  library.  With  the  family,  he  came  from  Canada  to  Sheboygan,  Wis., 
in  1849.  In  1851,  his  mother  with  the  other  children  returned  to  Canada  and 
Wellington  removed  to  Fond  du  Lac  County,  where  he  afterward  resided  with  the 
exception  of  two  years,  1859  to  1861,  which  he  spent  with  his  mother  in  Canada. 

Returning  to  Wisconsin,  he  enlisted  December  9,  1861,  in  Company  A,  14th 
Wisconsin  Infantry.  After  a  winter  in  camp,  the  regiment  was  ordered  to  the 
front  and  participated  in  the  last  day  of  the  battle  of  Shiloh.  The  day  before 
the  battle  of  Tupelo  the  14th  captured  the  flag  of  the  17th  Mississippi  Regiment, 
and  participated  in  that  battle,  when  a  bullet  passed  through  Mr.  Abbey's  hat. 
The  regiment  rendered  effective  service  at  the  battle  of  Pittsburg,  theii  proceeded 
to  Corinth  and  on  to  the  siege  of  Vicksburg.  During  the  thickest  of  the  fight, 
Mr.  Abbey  saw  his  cousin,  Charles  Abbey,  lying  w^ounded,  a  ball  having  passed 
through  his  right  thigh.  He  raised  him  up  in  an  effort  to  relieve  him,  and  just 
at  that  moment  a  ball,  imdoubtedly  aimed  at  Wellington,  struck  Charles  and 
pierced  him  through  the  heart.

quantity  of  cotton  and  in  digging  a  canal.  They  then  saw  service  at  Vicksburg 
and  Natcliez,  and,  after  a  furlougli  of  thirty  days,  nearly  all  reenlistcd  and  pro-

in  Arkansas  and  otlier  states  in  tlie  Soutli  and  were  in  Montgomery  when  the  news 
of  Lincoln's  assassination  reached  them.  They  were  discharged  at  Mobile,  Ala., 
October  9,  1865,  and  after  burying  his  brotlier  Isaac,  who  died  that  very  day, 
Wellington  returned  to  Fond  du  Lac,  and  purchased  a  farm  in  Byron,  which,  with 
additions,  became  one  of  the  best  farms  in  the  township. 

Mr.  Abbey  was  a  member  of  the  G.  A.  R.  and  a  strong  advocate  of  prohibition 
principles.  In  the  fall  of  1910  he  retired  to  Fond  du  Lac.  He  was  buried  in  the 
cemetery  near  the  little  country  church  in  Byron,  where  he  had  already  erected 
a  monument  to  his  children  who  had  died  before.

Extract  from  Major  General  Robertson's  Letter  to  His  Excellency  General 

Carleton  vizt. : 

New  York  13th  Feby.  1777. 

Mr.  Samuel  WiUis  has  had  General  Gage's  commission  some  years  as  Barrack  Master 
at  lUinois  and  Abraham  Abbey  as  Barrack  Master  at  Detroit.  They  appeared  as  such  in 
all  the  General  Returns.  The  first  has  been  employed  as  my  Clerk,  and  the  other  an  old 
faithful  serjt.  had  leave  to  go  to  Ireland  for  some  months ;  both  of  them  hired  proper 
Deputies.  I  find  from  a  letter  of  Mr.  Meyrick,  that  they  are  off  the  List  from  the  time 
that  General  Gage  went  home,  I  suspect  that  this  arises  from  their  not  appearing  on  the 
Returns  after  October  1775.  Let  me  assure  you  that  they  are  both  of  merit,  & 
ruined  if  turned  out  of  an  office.  Shoukl  this  have  arose  from  an  undesigned  Omission, 
let  me  beg  you  wiU  have  the  goodness  to  order  the  error  in  the  Returns  to  be  explained, 
and  set  right  in  the  next.  If  you  meant  they  should  be  struck  off  because  not  present, 
suffer  me  to  assure  you  that  they  are  not  at  fault,  &  that  their  being  replaced  will  be  a 
favor  I  should  receive  with  gratitude,  they  are  men  who  have  served  weU,  and  whom  I 
should  be  mortified  much,  if  not  able  by  your  favor  to  protect.

Richard  Routt  Abbay,  son  of  Jonathan  and  Mary  (Routt)  Abbay,  born  May  5, 
1797,  in  Frederick  County,  Va.,  twin  with  Anthony  S. ;  died  July  11,  1883.  He 
was  a  sagacious,  practical  and  successful  planter,  first  in  Tennessee,  then  after 
1838,  in  Mississiijpi,  where  he  purchased  the  plantation  later  occupied  by  his 
son  Richard  Felix  Abbay.  For  a  number  of  years  he  was  levee  commissioner 
for  Tunica  County  and  was  always  greatly  interested  in  all  affairs  pertaining  to 
the  progress  and  development  of  the  county.  Married  Mary  Ann  Shelby  Comp- 
ton,  daughter  of  William  and  Susan  (  )  Compton  of  Virginia,  who  were  early 
settlers  of  Tennessee.  At  his  death  in  1846,  William  Compton  was  considered 
one  of  the  Avealthiest  and  most  influential  citizens  of  Davidson  County  in  which 
he  was  one  of  the  pioneers.  Svisan  Louisa  Compton,  who  maiTied  Anthony  S. 
Abbay,  was  another  daughter.  Children:  i.  William  Anthony,  b.  Aug.  3,  1832, 
near  Nashville,  Tenn.,  d.  aged  21;  ii.  Margaret  Elizabeth,  b.  Aug.  9,  1834,  near 
Nashville,  d.  in  childhood;  iii.  John  Henry  Blackman,  b.  July  11,  1836,  m.  Har-

County,  Tenn.  He  became  a  planter  at  Commerce,  Miss.,  was  never  married. 
He  was  graduated  from  Cumberland  College  in  1858,  studied  law  and  was 
admitted  to  the  bar  in  1867  but  practiced  only  four  years.  Upon  his  father's 
death  he  assumed  the  management  of  his  large  plantation  of  2,000  acres,  1,500 
of  Avhich  are  under  cultivation.  He  was  a  representative  to  the  assembly  in  1887 
and  for  some  years  thereafter.  In  1888  he  was  a  leader  in  opposing  a  measure 
that  would  diminish  state  appropriations  for  education  in  a  group  of  counties 
known  as  the  "Chickasaw  Counties."  For  his  immeasurable  service  he  was 
styled  by  his  admirers  "Chief  of  the  Chickasaws"  and  was  presented  with  a 
gold-headed  cane.  In  1860  he  took  a  voyage  to  Cuba  for  his  health  and  returned 
on  the  last  ship  to  enter  New  Orleans  before  the  blockade.  He  immediately 
enlisted  in  the  Confederate  Army,  but  his  ■  health  could  not  endure  the  rigors 
of  army  life,  and,  after  a  stroke  of  paralysis,  he  was  obliged  to  return  home;

Rev.  John  Abbey  was  for  a  long  time  secretary  of  the  agricultural  department 
of  the  Church  of  England  Temperance  Society,  and  published  many  pamphlets 
and  articles  on  the  subject  of  temperance.  In  a  letter  from  him,  dated,  Oxford 
House,  69  Comerach  Road,  West  Kensington,  S.  W.,  Sept.  2,  1887,  he  says: 
"I  think  there  is  no  doubt  that,  in  very  early  times,  the  family  was  associated 
with  the  religious  houses  and  I  should  judge  that  we  derived  our  name  from  them. 
Those  engaged  at  or  in  the  Abbey  might  easily  be  called  the  Abbies,  or  the  people 
of,  or  from,  the  Abbey.  There  are  not  many  of  that  name  of  Abbey  in  the 
eountiy.  I  do  not  think  there  are  a  dozen  in  all  London,  and  only  four  among 
the  whole  body  of  the  clergy  in  the  United  Kingdom,  I  cannot  trace  the  name 
back  to  the  original  stem.  The  name  is  most  common  in  Yorkshire  at  a  small 
town  called  Selby,  aboiit  twelve  or  fifteen  miles  south  of  York.  I  was  born  within 
seven  miles  of  York.  A  number  of  our  friends  went  out  to  America  many  years 
ago.  Those  that  I  have  known  bearing  our  name  have  either  been  engaged  in 
trade  or  agriculture." 

A  letter  from  the  Rev.  C.  J.  Abbey,  Checkendon,  near  Reading,  Berkshire, 
a  distinguished  scholar  and  author,  dated  Feb.  16,  1888,  says:  "I  had  a  few 
notes  relative  to  the  Abbeys,  but  nothing  about  the  family  pre\'ious  to  1750. 
I  expect  it  had  long  been  settled  in  Northamptonshire  and  other  midland 
counties,  chiefly  as  respectable  farmers.  The  few  notes  I  refer  to  were  made 
some  sixty  years  ago  by  an  uncle  who  was  then  a  Major  in  the  army.  I  had 
another  uncle  at  the  siege  of  Bergen  op  Zoon,  a  young  officer  who  was  killed  on  a

scaling  ladder.  Another  of  my  uncles,  also  an  Abbey,  was  a  physician  at  the 
Russian  Court. ' ' 

The  Edinburgh  City  Directory  of  1882  gave  these  names:  David  S.  Abbey, 
session  clerk,  Bainfield  Cottage,  n.  Fort  St.;  Miss  Abbey,  teacher,  Madras 
School,  Church  Road,  New  Haven. 

Among  the  rainfall  observers  in  the  West  Riding  of  Yorkshire  in  1875  was 
J.  B.  Abbey,  Esq.,  who  maintained  three  stations,  Meltham  (Harding  Moss), 
Meltham  (Grange),  and  Longwood  (Bilberry  Edge).  In  1881  Mr.  G.  Abbey 
maintained  a  station  at  Grimkee  Park,  Lofthouse,  North  Riding,  Yorkshire. 

Matthew  Abbey,  with  two  other  Englishmen,  Mr.  Close  and  Mr.  Hoe,  went  to 
Russia,  under  the  supervision  of  Daniel  Wheeler,  to  cultivate  some  boggy  land 
at  a  place  called  ShushaiTy.  He  and  his  wife  are  buried  there  but  it  is  no 
settlement.  Matthew  Abbey  had  three  sons,  Joseph,  George,  William.  Joseph 
and  his  family  all  died  before  1912.  George  had  no  family.  William  Abbey  died 
in  1882,  leaving  five  sons,  all  living  in  Russia  in  1912;  Matthew,  John,  Alfred, 
Walter,  and  William.  His  wife  Eleanor  was  living  at  Villa  Strauch,  Kuokala, 
Finland,  in  1912,  aged  88.  William  was  a  manufacturer  of  agricultural  imple- 
ments in  1866.  The  pastor  of  the  British-American  Church,  St.  Petersburg, 
Russia,  in  May,  1912,  reported  the  following  Abbey  records  on  the  books  of  that 
church :  Matthew  Abbey  admitted  to  membership.  May,  1835 ;  Hannah  Abbey, 
1839;  Mr.  and  Mrs.  George  Abbey,  1840;  Joseph  Abbey,  1851;  William  Abbey, 
1872.    Mrs.  Eleanor  Abbey  was  the  oldest  member  of  the  church  in  1912. 

Ernst  Abbe,  a  distinguished  authority  on  practical  optics,  to  wliom  astro- 
nomical science  is  in  no  small  measure  indebted,  was  born  in  Eisenach,  Germany, 
Jan.  23,  1840,  the  son  of  an  employee  in  a  textile  factory;  died  in  1905.  He 
pursued  the  university  courses  at  Jena,  1857-9,  and  at  Gottingen,  1859-61.  At 
the  latter  university  he  took  his  degree  with  a  thesis  on  the  mechanical  theory 
of  heat.  In  1863  he  began  teaching  at  Jena.  For  several  years  he  assisted 
Carl  Zeiss,  the  mechanician  at  the  Jena  University,  in  his  efforts  to  improve  the 
microscope,  and  in  1875,  became  the  silent  partner  in  the  firm  of  Zeiss  &  Com- 
pany. He  held  the  chair  of  theoretical  physics  and  astronomy,  and  was  director 
of  the  observatory  until  1889,  when,  at  his  own  request,  he  was  relieved  and 
delivered  only  occasional  lectures.  On  the  death  of  Carl  Zeiss  in  1886,  he 
became  the  sole  owner  of  the  famous  Zeiss  oj^tical  works,  and  might  have  acquired 
a  great  fortune,  but  his  interest  in  his  fellow-men  led  him,  in  1891,  to  cede  his 
rights  as  owner  to  a  cooperative  society,  known  as  the  Carl  Zeiss  Stiftung,  the 
story  of  which  has  been  set  forth  most  interestingly  in  a  pamphlet  by  Professor 
Auerbach  of  Jena.  It  has  been  considered  the  most  unique  and  the  most  suc- 
cessful combination  of  commercial  and  scientific  endeavor  that  has  ever  been 
attempted.  Ernst  Abbe  was  married  in  1871  to  the  daughter  of  one  of  the  pro- 
fessors at  the  University  of  Jena,  and  had  two  daughters.

APPENDIX 


CLEVELAND  ABBE,  1838-1916 
(From  the  Monthly  Weather  Revietc,  for  September,  1916.) 

Professor  Clevelaud  Abbe  died  about  4  A.  M.  on  October  28,  1916.  He  had 
been  in  ill  health  since  June  4,  1915,  when  he  was  stricken  by  a  paralysis  of  the 
right  side,  from  which  he  had  largely  recovered.  Since  July,  1916,  however,  he 
had  suffered  from  a  malignant  degeneration  of  a  mole,  which  rapidly  became 
so  extensive  as  to  prevent  his  resting  comfortably  in  other  than  one  position. 
The  resultant  irritation  and  great  loss  of  sleep,  together  with  the  restricted  diet 
imposed  by  the  conditions  of  his  paralysis,  drained  his  strength.  He  returned 
from  Portland,  Maine,  where  he  had  spent  the  summer  of  1916,  about  the  middle 
of  September  and  in  a  greatly  weakened  condition.  For  a  few  days  he  enjoj^ed 
the  freedom  of  his  home,  but  soon  retired  to  the  room  which  he  kept  until  the 
end.  Mentally  but  little  change  was  observable,  and  even  on  the  afternoon  of 
October  25  he  dictated  a  letter  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Smithsonian  concerning 
the  details  of  publication  of  a  paper  on  meteors. 

Thus  passes  an  enthusiastic  promoter  of  international  good  will;  a  devoted 
son  of  Science  who  api^reciated  and  rejoiced  in  all  advances  in  any  of  her  many 
fields;  a  meteorologist  of  broad  and  deep  scholarship,  Avhose  enthusiasm  was 
an  inspiration  and  encouragement  to  all  about  him  and  whose  zeal  did  not  flag 
in  the  very  hour  of  death;  a  patriot  whose  lifelong  service  to  the  welfare  of 
his  country  fully  deserved  the  unusual  courtesy  shown  by  the  half-masted  flags 
on  the  Department  of  Agriculture  and  the  Weather  Bureau  on  the  day  he  was 
laid  to  rest. 

SYMONS  MEMORIAL  MEDAL  FOR  1912 

The  Symons  Memorial  Gold  Medal,  which  is  awarded  biennially  by  the  Royal 
Meteorological  Society  of  England,  was  presented  to  Professor  Cleveland  Abbe 
at  the  annual  general  meeting  on  January  17,  1912.  We  reprint  the  official  report 
of  the  proceedings  as  published  in  the  Quarterly  Journal  of  the  Royal  Meteoro- 
logical Society,  London,  1912,  38 :156-7. 

Presentation  of  the  Symons  Memorial  Gold  Medal 

The  President  [Dr.  H.  N.  Dickson]  said  that  it  now  fell  to  him  to  perform  one  of  the 
most  pleasant  duties  connected  -nath  his  oiBce,  the  presentation  of  the  Symons  Gold 
Medal.  He  would  ask  Prof.  Cleveland  Abbe  to  accept  this  medal,  but  the  secretary  would 
first  read  the  extract  from  the  minutes  of  the  council  concerning  this  award. 

The  Secretary  read  the  following  extract  from  the  minutes  of  the  council  meeting  of 
November  15,  1911 : 

"Prof.  Cleveland  Abbe  was  born  on  December  3rd,  1838,  at  New  York.  He  began 
active  scientific  work  as  a  mathematical  lecturer,  but  early  in  the  sixties  he  joined  the 
U.  S.  Coast  and  Geodetic  Survey.  He  was  resident  at  Pulkowa,  1864-1866,  which  was 
then  under  the  Directorship  of  the  younger  Struve.  Abbe  returned  to  the  United  States 
and  became  assistant  at  the  U.  S.  Naval  Observatory.  In  1868  he  was  appointed  Director 
of  the  observatory  at  Cincinnati,  into  which  he  infused  new  life.  He  joined  the  Weather 
Service  of  the  United  States  in  1871  and  it  is  in  connection  with  that  organization  that 
his  great  life  work  has  been  performed. 

"Apart  from  a  large  amount  of  official  work,  evidence  of  which  may  be  found  in  the 
pubMcations  of  the  Weather  Bureau,  he  is  notable  mainly  for:  (1)  his  collection  of 
papers  on  the  Mechanics  of  the  Earth's  Atmosphere,  which  are  today  indispensable  in 


440  Appendix 

work  on  the  dynamics  of  meteorology.  Volume  I  was  issued  in  1891  and  Volume  II  in 
1908  [issued  by  the  Smithsonian  Institution  in  1910]  ;  (2)  his  treatise  on  Meteorological 
Apparatus  and  Methods  issued  in  1888.  This  is  a  historical  and  practical  account  to 
which  even  the  meteorologist  of  the  twentieth  century  may  turn  for  instruction;  (3)  his 
Preparatory  Studies  for  Deductive  Methods  in  Storm  and  Weather  Predictions,  issued  in 
1890;  (4)  his  articles  on  Meteorology  in  the  Encyclopsedia  Britannica,  which  are  no 
doubt  well  known  to  all  Fellows  of  the  Society. 

"Prof.  Abbe  was  one  of  the  first  to  realize  the  importance  of  experimental  investiga- 
tions of  atmospheric  radiation,  and  it  was  largely  due  to  his  enterprise  that  the  well  known 
researches  of  Hutchins  and  Pearson  were  undertaken.  The  importance  of  this  work  has 
been  recently  emphasized  by  its  application  to  the  explanation  of  the  isothermal  condi- 
tions of  the  upper  atmosphere.  Prof.  Abbe  has  contributed  therefore  to  instrumental, 
statistical,  dynamical,  and  thermodynamical  meteorology,  and  forecasting.  He  has  more- 
over, played  throughout,  the  part,  not  only  of  an  active  contributor,  but  also  of  a  leader 
w^ho  drew  others  into  the  battle  and  pointed  out  the  paths  along  which  attacks  might  be 
successful. 

"He  is  a  Fellow  of  the  Royal  Astronomical  Society,  a  member  of  the  National  Academy 
[of  Sciences  of  the  United  States],  and  an  Honorary  Fellow  of  our  own  Society." 

The  President  then  said  : 

"Professor  Abbe,  we  have  listened  to  the  statement  of  the  Secretary  setting  forth  the 
reasons  which  have  led  the  Council  to  award  you  the  Symons  Gold  Medal  on  this 
occasion.  I  do  not  think  it  is  necessary  or  desirable  to  add  to  what  has  already  been 
stated  by  any  further  expansion  of  the  points  that  have  been  set  forth.  Every  member 
of  the  Society  is  sensible  of  his  indebtedness  to  the  work  which  you  have  done  in  the 
past  in  connection  with  our  science.  I  may  perhaps  be  permitted  to  add  on  behalf  of 
those  members  of  the  Society  who  have  had  the  privilege  of  becoming  personally 
acquainted  with  you,  our  sense  of  the  very  great  debt  we  owe  to  you  for  personal 
encouragement.  I  remember  the  occasion  some  five  and  twenty  years  ago,  on  which  I 
came  a  raw  and  budding  meteorologist  to  Washington,  and  had  the  pri\alege  of  enjoying 
the  hospitality  which  you  so  generously  offered  to  those  working  in  the  subject,  and  I 
remember  the  strong  stimulus  which  I  received  from  you  at  that  time.  There  are  very 
many  other  meteorologists  who  must  be  conscious  of  owing  to  you  a  similar  debt.  It 
gives  me  very  great  pleasure.  Sir,  to  offer  you,  on  behalf  of  the  Society,  this  Gold  Medal." 

Professor  Cleveland  Abbe  said  that  it  gave  him  the  greatest  pleasure  to  have  his  name 
associated  with  that  of  their  dear  friend  and  colleague  George  James  Symons.  He  could 
not  express  his  emotion  but  could  only  thank  them  most  sincerely  for  the  honor  they  had 
conferred  on  him  in  awarding  him  the  medal.  This  event  wiU  always  be  to  him  a 
stimulus  to  future  labors.  They  were  all  brothers  in  science  and  he  was  greatly  touched 
to  hear  the  account  read  by  the  secretary  that  they  had  so  closely  watched  his  career 
and  labors  in  a  science  of  which  they  had  not  yet  reached  the  end. 


REPRINT  FROM  THE  MONTHLY  WEATHER  REVIEW,  APRIL,  1916 
MARCELLUS  HARTLEY  MEMORIAL  MEDAL,  1916 

On  April  18,  1916,  the  National  Academy  of  Sciences,  meeting  at  Washington, 
D.  C,  awarded  a  Marcellus  Hartley  medal  "for  eminence  in  the  application  of 
science  to  the  public  welfare"  to  Prof.  Cleveland  Abbe  in  recognition  of  his 
sei-viees  in  connection  with  the  foundation  and  organization  of  the  United  States 
Weather  Bureau.  The  nominating  speech  was  made  by  Prof.  William  Morris 
Davis,  and  the  acceptance  was  by  Prof.  Charles  Frederick  Marvin  for  Prof.  Abbe, 
who  was  absent  on  account  of  ill  health. 

The  award  of  the  Hartley  medal  to  Cleveland  Abbe  is  the  first  time  this  medal 
has  gone  to  one  of  the  members  of  tlie  National  Academy  of  Sciences. 

By  tlie  courtesy  of  the  National  Academy  of  Sciences  it  is  possible  to  publish 
here  the  remarks  made  on  the  occasion,  remarks  of  historic  value  as  indicating 
the  character  of  the  medallist  and  also  as  recording  some  little-known  details  in 
the  history  of  the  Weather  Bureau. — C.  A.,  jr. 

Remarks  by  William  Mobeis  Davis 

Among  the  gratifying  duties  of  the  National  Academy  of  Sciences  is  that  of  awarding 
cei'tain  medals  in  recognition  of  notable  achievement.     One  of  our  medals,  founded  by  a 


Appendix  441 

daughter  in  memory  of  her  father,  MarccUus  Hartley,  of  New  York,  is  to  be  given  for 
"eminence  in  the  application  of  science  to  the  public  welfare."  I  am  glad,  Mr.  President, 
that  this  medal  is  awarded  for  eminence  in  the  application  of  science,  for  if  it  were  to  be 
awarded  for  j)rominence,  it  never  could  have  been  given  to  a  man  so  modest,  so  retiring, 
so  diffident,  as  Cleveland  Abbe.  We  all  have  had  a  warm  pleasure  in  voting  to  approve 
the  discernment  of  our  committee  in  nominating  this  gentle  man,  who  has  so  long 
labored  quietly,  without  ostentation,  never  intruding  himself  upon  public  notice  for  the 
display  of  his  learning,  to  be  the  recipient  of  a  medal  for  real  eminence  in  the  work  that 
he  has  done  for  his  country's  good. 

It  is  singular  and  regrettable  that,  although  we  have  a  large  and  varied  assortment 
of  weather,  sometimes,  indeed,  an  oversupply  of  it,  spread  across  the  continent  from 
ocean  to  ocean,  we  have  had  but  few  weather  men — meteorologists — of  high  standing. 
The  devotees  of  the  subject  have  too  often  perpetuated  an  unscientific,  astrological  habit 
of  mind,  elsewhere  extinct.  Only  about  six  of  them  have  attained  academic  rank, 
Redfield  and  Espy  were  contemporaries  and  competitors  in  the  first  half  of  the  nineteenth 
century — Redfield,  a  careful  observer  and  a  cautious  theorizer,  a  true  inductive  phi- 
losopher, to  whom  the  woi'ld  owes  the  first  demonstration  that  West  Indian  hurricanes 
are  gigantic  whirlwinds ;  Espy,  an  equally  good  observer  but  a  bolder  theorizer,  whose 
keen  deductions  regarding  atmospheric  convection  and  the  associated  adiabatic  changes 
of  temperature  in  air  currents  having  a  vertical  component  excited  less  admiration  in  our 
own  then  unlearned  country  than  in  more  learned  countries  abroad.  The  work  of  these 
eminent  Americans  was  done  before  the  formation  of  the  National  Academy,  but  Redfield 
was  a  member  of  the  American  Academy  of  Arts  and  Sciences  in  Boston,  and  Espy  of 
the  American  Philosophical  Society  in  Philadelphia. 

Long  before  their  time  lived  the  most  famous  of  all  American  meteorologists,  Benjamin 
Franklin,  who  not  only  established  the  identity  of  lightning  and  electricity  about  the 
middle  of  the  eighteenth  century,  but  proved  at  a  somewhat  earlier  date  that  our  north- 
east storms  come  from  the  southwest,  and  thus  laid  the  basis  of  modern  weather  predic- 
tions. His  name  is  stiU  worthily  celebrated  every  year  by  the  famous  academic  society 
that  he  founded. 

Redfield  and  Espy  were  followed  in  the  second  half  of  their  century  by  Loomis  and 
Ferrel,  in  whom  the  contrasts  of  the  two  earlier  masters  were  repeated.  They  were  both 
members  of  this  Academy.  Like  Redfield,  Loomis  was  faithfully  inductive ;  it  was  he 
who  first  analyzed  and  generalized  the  great  body  of  observations  that  were  recorded  on 
the  early  weather  maps  of  the  Signal  Service.  He  thus  established  a  large  number  of 
values  regarding  the  beha\dor  of  winds,  the  changes  of  temperature,  and  the  fall  of  rain 
or  snow  in  the  traveling  areas  of  high  and  low  pressure  that  sweep  eastward  through 
the  Temperate  Zone ;  and  in  this  fundamental  work  he  has  not,  I  regret  to  say,  as 
yet  been  followed  by  a  worthy  successor.  Like  Espy,  Ferrel  was  inventively  deductive ; 
he  directed  his  extraordinary  native  powers  of  mathematical  analysis  to  such  problems 
as  the  general  circulation  of  the  atmosphere  and  the  vortical  currents  of  cyclones  and 
tornadoes,  and  made  an  enduring  mark  upon  them.  The  autobiography  of  this  self-taught 
farmer's  boy  is  a  touching  story  of  emerging  genius. 

During  an  intermediate  period  Maury  systematized  the  reduction  of  meteorological 
observations  at  sea ;  Joseph  Henry  did  much  to  encourage  systematic  meteorological 
observation  on  land ;  and  Coffin,  utilizing  all  available  records  from  lands  and  seas, 
compiled  his  great  work  on  the  Winds  of  the  Globe ;  but  the  impress  of  these  three  men 
on  the  scientfic  interpretation  of  atmospheric  phenomena  was  not  so  profound  as  that  of 
Redfield  and  Espy  before  them  or  of  Loomis  and  Ferrel  after  them. 

Cleveland  Abbe  was  for  a  time  the  academic  contemporary  of  the  last  two  named,  as 
he  is  now  almost  their  solitary  meteorological  successor  in  this  country ;  for  of  others, 
we  have  lost  Lawrence  Rotch,  founder  and  director  of  that  admirable  institution,  the 
Blue  HiU  Meteorological  Observatory,  near  Boston,  by  his  untimely  death  four  years  ago. 

It  is  the  practical  tui-n  which  Abbe  gave  to  his  scientific  studies  nearly  50  years  ago 
that  we  celebrate  to-night,  for  it  was  then,  when  he  was  a  young  man  in  Cincinnati  in 
1868,  that  he  first  put  into  execution  in  this  country  a  scheme  of  daily  weather  prediction, 
based  upon  the  telegraphic  concentration  of  widespread  synchronous  observations.  Would 
that  he  could  be  with  us  this  evening  to  tell  the  story  of  that  novel  undertaking,  but  in 
his  absence  I  may  perhaps  advert  to  certain  matters  which  might  embarrass  him  were 
he  with  us.  His  private  enterprise  was  soon  superseded  by  the  establishment  of  a  national 
meteorological  bureau  at  the  hands  of  Gen.  A.  J.  Myer,  Chief  Signal  Officer  of  the  Army ; 
and  thereupon  Abbe  was  brought  to  Washington  as  the  one  expert  of  the  country  qualified 
to  set  the  new  service  on  its  scientific  feet.  Here  for  all  these  years  since  1870,  first 
in  the  War  Department,  later  in  the  Department  of  Agriculture,  he  has  been  the  senior 
scientific  adviser  of  the  Weather  Ser^ace,  and  thus  his  influence  in  practical  meteorology 
over  the  length  and  breadth  of  our  land  has  been  enormous.  Although  his  hand  has 
taken  its  turn  with  others  at  the  exacting  duty  of  daily  prediction  and  has  carried  on 
its  assigned  share  of  the  over-great  volume  of  routine  tasks  that  are  conventionally  cus- 


4:4$i  Appendix 

tomary  in  meteorological  institutions,  his  heart  has  never  ceased  to  turn  to  or  to  yearn 
for  the  more  original  efforts  of  scientific  investigation.  More  characteristic  of  the  man 
than  his  work  in  such  necessary  matters  as  the  construction  of  tables  for  the  daily 
routine  of  reducing  barometric  observations  to  the  level  of  the  sea,  or  the  preparation 
of  instructions  for  reducing  the  daily  routine  of  meteorological  duties  to  the  level  of 
the  observer,  was  his  translation  of  several  difficult  mathematical  memoirs  on  the 
circulation  of  the  atmosphere,  published  and  distributed  by  the  Smithsonian  Institution, 
out  of  which  I  fancy  he  had  greater  enjoyment  than  anyone  else — though  that  is  not 
saying  much.  Evidently  enough,  therefore,  the  one  great  practical  scheme  of  daily 
weather  prediction,  tliat  has  made  him  deservedly  eminent  in  the  application  of  science 
to  the  public  welfare,  did  not  divert  his  mind  from  unpractical  scientific  research.  He  has 
always  willingly  turned  his  attention  to  new  problems  and  become  happily  engrossed  in 
them  when  opportunity  offered,  yet  he  has  ever  been  ready  to  interrupt  his  work  and 
I  fear  that  his  scientific  spirit  has  not  at  all  times  been  happy  under  the  regulations  that 
are  presumably  appropriate  in  a  large  governmental  bureau,  and  that  Ms  sensitive  nature 
has  sometimes  been  bruised  by  the  arbitrary  discipline  of  wholesale  oflicial  serxdce.  But 
his  is  a  buoyant  disposition,  and  cheerfulness  has  long  been  his  dominant  quality. 

We  all  regret  his  absence  this  evening.  As  he  can  not  be  with  us  in  the  flesh,  let  us 
draw  him  forth  in  spirit  from  his  self-effacing  retirement ;  let  us  see  in  imagination  the 
genuine  surprise  that  he  would  feel  on  learning  of  our  action  in  selecting  him  for  a  high 
distinction  ;  let  us  through  our  memory  of  other  years  enjoy  the  genial  smile  with  which 
he  would  return  our  greeting.  Mr.  President,  it  is  a  great  pleasure  most  cordially  to 
present  hi  absentia  Prof.  Cleveland  Abbe,  that  he  may  receive  from  you,  through  the  hands 
of  his  former  pupil,  his  present  superior  officer  and  his  constant  friend,  the  Chief  of  the 
Weather  Bureau  [Charles  Frederick  Marvin],  the  medal  which  he  so  richly  deserves. 

Remarks  by  Prof.  C.  F.  Marvin 

Mr.  President,  members,  and  guests  of  the  National  Academy : 

Words  fail  me  to  speak  fully  of  my  deep  feeling  on  this  occasion.  I  can  not  tell  how 
much  I  appreciate  this  great  privilege  and  honor  that  devolves  upon  me  in  accepting  this 
medal  for  Prof.  Abbe,  with  whom  I  have  been  intimately  associated  for  more  than  30 
years.  During  this  time  we  have  worked  side  by  side,  so  to  speak,  and  I  have  learned 
not  only  to  hold  him  in  the  greatest  esteem  because  of  his  eminent  work  in  science,  but 
also  to  love  him  dearly  because  of  those  modest,  gentle,  and  beautiful  qualities  of 
character  that  were  just  now  set  out  in  such  touching  fashion  by  Prof.  Davis.  His 
whole  life  and  energies  have  been  devoted  to  the  advancement  of  the  science  of  meteor- 
ology ;  he  has  thought  only  of  its  problems  and  how  he  could  encourage  and  induce 
others  to  unravel  its  perplexities,  and  has  never  given  any  thought  to  himself.  These 
characteristics,  it  seems  to  me,  add  greatly  to  the  eminence  Prof.  Abbe  has  attained,  the 
eminence  unsought  by  himself  but  bountifully  bestowed  upon  him  by  others.  Only  a  short 
time  ago,  when  it  was  learned  that  he  had  been  awarded  this  medal  and  he  had  requested 
me  to  receive  it  for  him,  I  asked  him  to  tell  me  what  to  say  for  him  in  acceptance. 
Without  a  moment's  hesitation  he  replied :  "Oh,  they  do  too  much  for  me,  they  must 
not  forget  Henry,  Espy,  Ferrel,  Lapham,  and  others." 

I  am  only  an  humble  worker  in  the  domain  of  science  and  I  could  never  hope  to 
deserve  so  great  an  honor  as  a  medal  like  this  for  myself.  Therefore  this  is  the  greatest 
event  in  my  life,  and  I  feel  deeply  the  privilege,  and  honor  of  receiving  this  medal  for 
Prof.  Abbe,  whom  I  love  and  esteem  so  highly.  Just  this  morning  I  received  a  note  from 
Prof.  Abbe  giving  an  account,  in  his  own  words,  of  his  early  work  leading  to  the 
creation  of  the  weather  forecasting  service  in  the  United  States. 

If  you  will  permit  me,  Mr.  President,  I  should  Uke  to  read  what  Prof.  Abbe  says. 
It  will  take  but  a  few  minutes  and  I  believe  the  members  of  the  Academy  will  be  glad 
to  hear  from  him. 


A  SHORT  ACCOUNT  OF  THE  CIRCUMSTANCES  ATTENDING  THE  INCEP- 
TION OF  WEATHER  FORECAST  WORK  BY  THE  UNITED  STATES 

By  Cleveland  Abbe 

My  boyhood  life  in  New  York  City  had  impressed  me  with  the  popular  ignorance  and 
also  with  the  great  nee^l  of  something  better  than  local  lore  and  weather  proverbs.  The 
knowledge  of  the  sailors  and  farmers  whom  I  met  seemed  to  me  unsatisfactory.  The 
popular  articles  in  the  New  York  daily  papers,  by  Merriam,  Espy,  Joseph  Henry,  and 
others — notably  Redfield  and  Loomis — had  by  1857  convinced  me  that  man  should  and 


Appendix  443 

must  overcome  our  ignorance  of  the  destructive  winds  and  rains.  It  was  in  the  summer 
of  1857  or  1858  that  I  read  the  beginning  of  the  classic  article  by  William  Ferrcl  in 
the  Mathematical  Monthly.  I  realized  that  he  had  overcome  many  of  the  hidden  difficul- 
ties of  theories  of  storms  and  winds;  from  that  day  he  was  my  guide  and  authority. 
During  1S58-1864,  in  the  practice  and  study  of  astronomy  with  Brunnow  at  Ann  Arbor, 
Mich.,  and  Gould  at  Cambridge,  Mass.,  I  was  impressed  with  the  unsatisfactory  state 
of  our  knowledge  of  atmospheric  refraction.  Two  years  later  my  experience  at  Poulkova, 
Russia,  and  at  our  Naval  Observatory,  Washington,  seemed  to  justify  my  conclusion  that 
astronomers  who  would  improve  their  meridional  measurements  must  investigate  their 
local  atmospheric  conditions  more  thoroughly  and  to  this  end  must  have  numerous  sur- 
rounding meteorological  observations.  Hence  in  my  inaugural  Cincinnati  address  of 
May  1,  1868,  I  stated  that  with  a  proper  system  of  weather  reports  the  public  need  of 
forecasts  could  be  met  and  that  astronomy  could  also  be  benefited. 

This  suggestion  was  taken  up  by  Mr.  John  A.  Gano,  president  of  the  local  chamber 
of  commerce  ;  a  committee  met  me,  approved  my  plans,  and  promised  the  expenses  of  a 
first  trial.  I  had  the  total  solar  eclipse  of  August  7,  1869,  on  my  hands,  but  imme- 
diately began  to  arrange  for  40  voluntary  meteorological  correspondents.  On  my 
return  from  observing  the  eclipse  at  Sioux  Falls  City,  I  stopped  at  Chicago  and  formally 
invited  the  Chicago  Board  of  Trade  to  join  in  extending  the  Cincinnati  system  to  the 
Great  Lakes,  but  this  invitation  was  declined  by  the  Chicago  Board  of  Trade.  An 
editorial  in  a  Chicago  evening  paper  of  Monday,  August  16,  1869,  stated  the  scientific 
basis  of  our  observatory  work.  I  returned  at  once  to  Cincinnati,  issued  the  first 
number  of  the  Cincinnati  Weather  Bulletin  promptly,  as  promised,  on  September  1,  1869 ; 
it  contained  a  few  observations  telegraphed  from  distant  observers  and  the  "probabilities" 
for  the  next  day.  This  bulletin  was  posted,  in  my  own  handwriting,  prominently  in 
the  hall  of  the  chamber ;    but  I  soon  found  below  my  misspelled    "Teusday"    a  humorous 

line  by  Mr.  Davis,  the  well-known  packer:     "A  bad  spell  of  weather  for    'Old 

Probs.'  "    This  established  my  future  very  popular  name   "Old  Probs." 

My  forecasts  were  treated  very  kindly  by  all.  I  had  anticipated  a  slow  increase  in 
accuracy ;  I  ventured  to  write  my  father  in  New  York  City  "I  have  started  that  which 
the  country  wiU  not  wiUingly  let  die."  I  wrote  a  short  note  to  the  New  York  Times 
(or  Tribune)  telling  them  how  useful  we  could  be  to  their  shipping.  On  September  3, 
1869,  I  even  ventured  to  offer  a  daily  telegram  by  the  French  cable  to  Le  Verrier  as 
founder  of  the  Bulletin  Hebdomadaire  de  I'Association  Scientifique,  and  who  could  fully 
sympathize  with  my  hopes  and  plans.  He  realized  the  breakers  ahead  of  me  better 
tiian  I.  My  daily  telegram  from  Milwaukee  came  from  the  weU-known  Smithsonian 
observer  and  author.  Prof.  Increase  AUen  Lapham.  He  had  known  and  appreciated  the 
works  of  Espy,  Redfield,  Loomis,  and  others,  but  he  had  become  absorbed  in  other 
studies ;  he  now  urged  the  local  Milwaukee  society  to  do  something  for  Lake  Michigan. 
His  friends  were  just  about  to  go  to  the  Richmond  meeting  of  the  National  Board  of 
Trade ;  there  they  met  William  Hooper  and  John  A.  Gano.  These  merchants  of  Cincinnati 
found  that  they  had  the  same  idea  as  H.  E.  Paine,  of  Milwaukee,  i.  e.,  that  the  Federal 
Government  should  develop  the  Cincinnati  enterprise  and  make  it  useful  to  the  whole 
country.  The  National  Board  of  Trade  indorsed  this  idea ;  Prof.  Lapham,  of  Milwaukee, 
drew  up  some  statistics  of  storms  and  destruction  on  the  Lakes ;  the  Hon.  Halbei-t  E. 
Paine  prepared  Public  Resolution  No.  9 ;  we  each  put  our  shoulders  to  the  wheel  and 
behold  on  February  9,  1870,  the  Secretary  of  War  was  authorized  to  carry  out  this  new 
duty.  I  had  spent  a  year  in  finding  stations,  voluntary  observers,  and  telegraph  facilities  ; 
every  old  classmate  or  friend  of  progressive  meteorology  had  helped  the  new  idea.  The 
work  had  now  passed  out  of  my  hands.  I  saw  that  I  must  soon  go  back  to  the  observatory 
work  that  I  had  undertaken — the  rejuvenation  of  the  famous  old  Cincinnati  observatory — 
but  there  was  much  more  to  be  done.  A  letter  from  the  Chief  Signal  Officer,  United  States 
Army,  Gen.  Albert  J.  Myer,  asked  for  all  possible  cooperation.  The  officials  of  the  Western 
Union  Telegraph  Co.  offered  the  observatory  the  same  free  daily  weather  reports  that  they 
had  for  20  years  been  giving  to  the  Smithsonian  Institution  and  the  daily  press :  so  I 
continued  temporarily  to  make  and  pubMsh  the  Cincinnati  Bulletin,  but  in  a  much  simpler 
form  and  without  forecasts.  This  continued  until  May  10,  1870,  when  I  was  married,  and 
the  preparation  of  the  midnight  bulletin  passed  over  to  the  officials  of  the  local  telegraph 
office.     It  was  continued  in  this  shape  until  November,  1870,  when  the  tridaily  bulletins 

of  the  Army  Signal  Service  began.    With  the  help  of Williams,  who  was  in  charge 

of  the  Western  Union  office,  I  printed  in  October,  1869,  a  code  of  cipher,  and  should 
have  used  this  code  for  economy,  had  not  the  Joint  Resolution  of  February  9,  1870, 
anticipated  further  reports  by  my  own  stations.  This  code  was  subsequently  greatly 
improved  by  Weather  Bureau  men,  and  particularly  by  Gen.  A.  W.  Greely,  and  it  is 
stiU  in  use. 

The  manifolded  duplicate  copies  and  the  printed  copies  of  the  daily  Cincinnati  Observa- 
tory Bulletin  were  distributed  until  the  chamber  of  commerce  no  longer  needed  to 
support  it ;  then  Mr.  Williams  devised  a  simple  form  of  manifold  map  that  was  a  great 
improvement  on  my  original  tabular  form  of  daily  reports.     This  map  was  soon  adopted 


444  Appendix 

by  the  Signal  Service,  but  was  itself  displaced  in  turn  by  the  present  handsome  daily 
lithographed  chart.  Without  the  help  of  Armstrong  and  Williams  and  the  new  manifold 
method  patented  by  J.  Jones  we  could  not  have  promptly  responded  to  the  needs  of  our 
friends. 

By  November,  1870,  I  had  gone  to  New  York  and  prepared  to  go  as  astronomer  on 
one  of  the  Panama  Canal  surveys,  but  I  gave  this  up  and  should  have  returned  soon 
to  Cincinnati  had  I- not,  in  December,  received  a  letter  from  Gen.  Myer  stating  that  he 
wished  to  see  me.  My  work  with  him  in  the  Weather  Bureau  of  the  Army  Signal 
Service  began  January  3,  1871.  After  a  month's  practice  it  was  decided  that  my  forecast 
would  ev-idently  more  than  fill  the  popular  expectations  and  tridaily  publications  began 
at  once.  The  term  "probabilities"  then  became  official,  as  it  had  begun  in  1869,  and  in 
those  days  it  was  appropriate ;  but  we  have  long  since  used  and  accepted  the  word 
"forecast." 

The  subsequent  development  of  the  service  under  Gens.  Myer,  Hazeu,  and  Greely, 
and  Profs.  Harrington,  Moore,  and  Marvin  may  be  gathered  from  their  special  or 
annual  reports.  The  service  has  been  greatly  favored  by  the  hearty  cooperation  of  many 
men  of  knowledge,  skill,  and  enthusiasm. 


TIMOTHY  HARLOW  ABBE  OF  ENFIELD  (see  page  306) 

Some  years  ago  Mr.  Abbe  made  an  extended  collection  of  records  pertaining 
to  the  family  history.  Many  of  these  records  were  used  in  the  compilation  of  the 
history  of  the  Enfield  branch.  He  also  rendered  to  the  town  of  Enfield  a  great 
service  by  devoting  his  time  and  thought  to  the  accomplishment  of  a  noble 
purpose  for  the  young  men  of  the  town. 

His  daughter,  Mrs.  James  C.  Guthrie  of  Springfield,  writes: 

In  our  village  the  only  place  where  young  men  could  congregate  was  the  general  store 
and  saloon  combined.  My  parents  knew  the  fatal  attraction  of  the  place  and  to  counter- 
act its  influence  they  fitted  up  one  of  our  front  rooms  as  a  reading  room  and  bade  the  boys 
welcome.  The  room  was  always  warm,  light  and  clean,  and  my  father  encouraged  the  boys 
to  study  history  and  current  events  and  to  learn  to  express  themselves.  He  formed  a 
lyceum  and  the  neighbors  were  invited  in  to  hear  their  sons  debate  the  questions  of  the 
day.  A  deep  thinker  and  forceful  speaker  himself,  he  planted  in  the  minds  and  hearts  of 
receptive  youth  the  pure  thoughts  and  high  ideals  that  were  of  untold  value  in  character 
building.  One  of  these  young  men,  now  a  successful  physician,  said  recently,  that  he 
and  his  brothers  and  cousins,  among  whom  are  lawyers,  doctors  and  successful  business 
men,  felt  that  they  owed  a  large  part  of  their  success  in  life  to  the  influence  and 
encouragement  of  Harlow  Abbe.
